THE MONAghAN LAB IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR TALENTED PHD AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDENTS

I welcome inquiries from graduate and post-graduate trainees who are already self funded and those motivated to apply for research funding. Interested students should contact Michael via the 'Contact Us' link for support in postgraduate scholarship applications. 

Open Positions

We have two fully funded PhD positions available in the field of biomedical engineering (details below).

Application requires a Cover Letter, CV and additional material in one single .pdf file to a maximum of 500 kb

Please only apply via the link below. Please, only shortlisted candidates will be responded to.

One entails a strong focus on immunology, biomaterial chemistry and label-free microscopy funded by Science Foundation Ireland which aims to engineer the next generation of biomedical implants based on delineating the interplay between cell mechanobiology, metabolism and function.

The second is centred on the rational design of biomaterial meshes ranging from laboratory evaluation, in silico modelling and effective experimental design using Bayesian Optimisation funded by the European Research Council.

Other Funding Opportunities:

Interested parties are invited to discuss supported applications for the calls supporting candidate self-funding.  

Marie Sklodowska Individual Fellowships

Irish Research Council Postgraduate Fellowships

Occasionally, I host visiting internships (national and international) that must be a duration of a minimum of 12 continuous weeks from students with a background and expertise that fit with the projects in the lab.
