Maynooth University is committed to a strategy where excellent research and scholarship, and outstanding education are interlinked and equally valued.
We seek applications for a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher in DNA computing, DNA data storage, and DNA nanostructures in the research group of Professor Damien Woods at the Hamilton Institute.
The role involves engineering DNA-based self-assembly systems, DNA/molecular computers, and DNA data-storage systems in the wet-lab.
Key Responsibilities:
* Designing and implementing DNA nanostructures for DNA computing and DNA storage.
* Control of nucleation for DNA tile-based self-assembly.
Research Directions:
* Designing DNA origami, DNA tile-based systems, and DNA computers.
* Theoretical analysis of molecular computers using mathematical and computational methods.
The ideal candidate will have a PhD or equivalent research experience and a background in experimental practice of DNA-based molecular computing, or theoretical computer science.
Candidates should have relevant post-PhD experience, specifically at least two years of post-doctoral research experience.
Appointments will be made in accordance with public sector pay provisions.
