Job description

2.5 Years, Fixed-Term, Whole-time Post Position Summary Applicants are invited for a 2.5 year Post-Doctoral Researcher position in brain ageing, resilience and gut microbiome research, funded by the Health Research Board (HRB) under the umbrella of the Partnership Fostering a European Research Area for Health (ERA4 Health).

We welcome applications from highly motivated and enthusiastic postdoctoral researchers to join a research programme aimed at determining the role of gut microbiota in the effects of diet, exercise or cognitive interventions on cognition and mood in older aged people with depression.

This project is part of a consortium of six partners across Europe who will identify immuno-metabolic, gut microbiome and nutritional signatures associated with cognitive brain ageing, which can then be leveraged to develop strategies to lower the risk of cognitive impairment in people with depression.

The successful candidate will be expected to make an outstanding contribution to preclinical investigations in this regard.

The candidate will perform faecal microbial transplantation and behavioural analyses in rodents, immunohistochemistry and microscopy with cellular morphological analysis, gene and protein expression analyses, 16 S r RNA gene sequencing, metabolomics and statistical analysis, and apply for ethical approval for the research.

UCC is an accredited research organisation and as such can form hosting agreements with third country nationals (and non-EEA nationals) for the purpose of conducting research in the University.

Achievement of the expected progression within Post Doc and Senior Post Doc is transferable between the Irish HEI's.

This can be reflected in the starting pay of a PD researcher.

Similarly, as the PD scheme is an intergenerational training scheme completion of PD1 or PD 2 levels in one HEI will normally render that researcher ineligible for appointment at a similar level in another Irish HEI Researcher Career Development Framework | Irish Universities Association Project Title : Lifestyle interventions to prevent cognitive deficits in subjects with depressive symptoms : investigating the causal role of the gut microbiome Post Duration : 2.5 years Salary : €46,306 - €52,863 p.a.

Candidates should apply, in confidence, before 12 noon (Irish Local Time) on Friday, 24th October 2025.

No late applications will be accepted.

Please note that an appointment to posts advertised will be dependent on University approval, together with the terms of the employment control framework for the higher education sector.
