About the Programme
Neuroadapt is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND Action for Postdoctoral Fellowships led by Futureneuro, the Research Ireland Centre for Translational Brain Science. This world-leading multi-disciplinary centre focuses on making discoveries and developing technologies that can solve the urgent, unmet needs of people living with neurological, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders. The overall objective of Neuroadapt is to equip the next generation of researcher leaders with the skills necessary to catalyse their careers and develop innovative, safer, and more effective diagnostic, therapeutic, and health-care approaches to brain diseases tailored specifically towards individual patient needs.
Research Themes
Neuroadapt applicants will choose from a wide range of research areas, host organisations, supervisors, and Secondment organisations. Novel proposals can be submitted around three broad, interdisciplinary themes:
1. Therapeutics: Research into the causes of brain disease, focusing on noncoding RNAs, metabolic and epigenetic processes, the blood-brain barrier, and neuroinflammation using technologies including super-resolution imaging, single-cell ‘omics, and neurophysiology.
2. Diagnostics: Identification and validation of novel disease markers, including genetic risk factors and both wet and dry biomarkers, novel point-of-care diagnostics, and leveraging AI to enhance the accuracy of diagnosis.
3. Digital Health: The development of personalised, accessible, proactive, and preventive healthcare solutions enabled by digital technologies, specifically tailored for those impacted by neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases.
Funding Details
In 2025, Neuroadapt aims to fund at least 6 high-calibre Postdoctoral Fellowships of 24 months. Depending on their supervisor, incoming fellows will be hosted in one of the eight FutureNeuro-affiliated universities in Ireland. The award will provide for salary (indicative range €57K – 65K gross amount), allowances depending on host and applicant status, mobility allowance, research costs, and training and career development programme.
