Postdoc Position in Immune Signalling in Ireland

Applications are invited for a postdoc position in the newlyestablished
Host-Pathogen Interaction Laboratory at the Institute
of Immunology, National University of Ireland Maynooth (NUIM).

The position is funded for 3 years by the Irish Health Research Board (HRB)
and available from October 2009. The successful candidate will be working
on a project to determine the exact molecular mechanism behind the effect
of DEAD-box helicase 3 on type I interferon induction and its manipulation
by viruses (Schroder et al., EMBO J. 2008).

Candidates should have a PhD in the biological sciences, be highly
motivated and organised, be able and willing to become a major player
within a new research team and have experience with the investigation of
cell signalling pathways. In addition, experience with one or more of the
following techniques would be a major asset: EMSA, CHIP, RT-PCR, FPLC,
flow cytometry, kinase assays or lentiviral gene transfer.

The Institute of Immunology at NUI Maynooth is one of the leading centres
for Immunology research in Ireland and is located only 25 km outside of
Dublin with good transport links.
