都柏林大学学院博士后职位招聘–机械和材料工程学院

Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 or 2 within UCD School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering

Reference no – 016719

Applications are invited for a Post-doctoral Research Fellow role in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. This post will spearhead the development of novel fluid-solid interaction algorithms for cardiovascular xenotransplantation applications. The focus will be on developing novel, higher-order, monolithic fluid-solid interaction finite volume methods based on the open-source OpenFOAM software and/or similar software. The developed codes, shared globally through the open-source solids4foam toolbox (www.solids4foam.com), will be used for cardiovascular analyses including the emerging area of cardiac xenotransplantation (pig-to-human heart transplant).

This exciting project is part of European Research Council project “XenoSim: Providing Computational Insights into Cardiac Xenotransplantation”, where the successful candidate will join a team of seven researchers working on the project.

This is an advanced research focused role, building on your prior experience as a post-doctoral fellow, where you will conduct a specified programme of research supported by research training under the supervision and direction of a Principal Investigator.

The primary purpose of the role is to develop new or advanced research skills and competences, on the processes of publication in peer-reviewed academic publications and scholarly dissemination, the development of funding proposals, and the supervision and mentorship of graduate students along with the opportunity to develop your skills in research led teaching.

PD1 : Salary Range: €42,783 – €49,177 per annum 
PD2 : Salary Range: €50,540 – €54,965 per annum  
Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.

Closing date: 17:00hrs (local Irish time) on 12th December 2023

Applications must be submitted by the closing date and time specified. Any applications which are still in progress at the closing time of 17:00hrs (Local Irish Time) on the specified closing date will be cancelled automatically by the system. UCD are unable to accept late applications.
UCD do not require assistance from Recruitment Agencies. Any CV’s submitted by Recruitment Agencies will be returned.

The PD1 position is intended for early stage researchers, either just after completion of a PhD or for someone entering a new area for the first time. If you have already completed your PD1 stage in UCD or will soon complete a PD1, or you are an external applicant whose total Postdoctoral experience, inclusive of the duration of the advertised post, would exceed 4 years, you should not apply and should refer to PD2 posts instead.

The PD2 post is intended for researchers that have completed PD1. As with the PD1, if you have already completed your PD2 stage in UCD or will soon complete a PD2, or your total Postdoctoral experience, inclusive of the duration of the advertised post, would exceed 6 years, you should not apply and should refer to Research Fellow posts instead.

Prior to application, further information (including application procedure) should be obtained from the Work at UCD website: https://www.ucd.ie/workatucd/jobs/
