PhD Positions at the UCD Charles Institute of Dermatology
Several PhD positions are available at the Charles Institute of Dermatology, School of Medicine and Medical Science, University College Dublin in Senior Lecturer Dr. Wenxin Wang’s Skin Research and Wound Healing group. The three projects are:
•       "Wound healing and tissue repair for genodermatosis"
This projects requires knowledge in relevant areas such as molecular biology, dermatology and regenerative medicine. A strong biological and molecular biology background is desired. Experience in genetics and general human tissue culture is preferable. The PhD will involve in vivo work possibly based abroad.
•       "Development and application of polymer based biomaterials"
Expertise in the areas of organic chemistry, polymer synthesis, gene/drug delivery or bio-imaging is required. A strong organic/polymer chemistry synthesis and characterization background is desired. Experience in general cell culture is preferable.
•       “Injectable hydrogel for stem cell niche in chronic wound healing applications”
This project aims to develop a mimic cellular scaffold mixing the synthetic polymer with ECM materials and adipose-derived stem cells. The PhD Student will develop injectable hydrogel materials for stem cell delver, multi-disciplined approaches will be employed in this project, such as polymer synthesis, hydrogel mechanical properties assessments, stem cell culture, differentiation and morphological studies, growth factor and cytokine regulation assessment.
The projects are funded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), providing EU tuition fees and a stipend of 16,000 Euro per annum for a period of 4 years.
Applicants should have a high calibre Masters degree (or equivalent qualification) in a relevant area to undertake the organic chemistry/ polymer synthesis, gene delivery, bio-imaging or stem cell biology projects. Strong cell biomaterial or/and biological background is desired. We look for highly motivated applicants with excellent interpersonal, written and oral communication skills with enthusiasm for self-motivated learning and exposure to a diversity of scientific projects. The PhD will involve close interactions with tissue engineering and biomedical collaborators.
More information on biomaterial and tissue engineering related research activities in Dr Wang’s group can be found at www.wenxinwang.ie.
Please send a cover letter, your full C.V. with the names of three referees and a research statement indicating your interest in any of these PhD positions to Dr. Udo Greiser (udo.greiser@ucd.ie). The Charles Institute is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals. The Charles Institute seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
