Appointment to a Tier 2 Chair is for five years, is renewable once, and comes with enhanced research support from the program. Applicants who are more than 10 years from their highest degree (and where career breaks exist, including maternity leave, extended sick leave, clinical training, etc.) may have their eligibility for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair assessed through the program’s Tier 2 justification process.

The activities at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research-Hyderabad (TIFRH) are poised to expand significantly on its ~200 acre campus, with full-fledged infrastructure for research labs, along with other facilities for researchers and staff. By 2027, the campus will have ~650,000 sq feet of laboratory, classroom and discussion spaces, and will eventually host a total of ~600 researchers, students, and staff. Along with growth in the existing areas of research and education in basic sciences, the institute seeks to add newer activities to its programme. TIFRH is looking to initiate activities in Computational and Mathematical Sciences in general, and particularly in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The goals are two-fold: (i) fundamental research, exploring theoretical underpinnings, in order to address challenging and emerging problems, (ii) innovations leading to data driven tools and techniques to tackle large-scale fundamental and practical problems. Some of the problems in the practical domain include climate and weather modelling, healthcare, economics and transportation systems, etc.
The institute invites researchers working actively at the forefronts of these fields and wishing to make innovative and groundbreaking contributions, especially in the areas of computational statistics, machine learning and related areas. Expertise in areas such as probability, statistics, optimization, and operations research, and an emphasis on conceptual focus would be preferred. The other activities in basic sciences at the institute will provide opportunities for collaboration on outstanding scientific problems from a data science perspective. The institute also welcomes applicants with an orientation in data sciences with domain expertise in biological, chemical and physical sciences. The proximity of the institute to governmental, defense and academic institutions, and the vibrant industrial base in the financial and IT sectors in the city affords a wide range of opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations.

Description:
An opportunity has arisen to join the lab of Prof. Gerry McElvaney in the Department of Medicine at RCSI to conduct a programme of translational research on genetic lung diseases. Our group comprises both clinicians and scientists and so provides an excellent, inclusive environment to learn both scientific and clinical aspects of respiratory conditions such as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis, while contributing to patient-focused research. We have a strong track record of high-impact publication in journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, Lancet Respiratory Medicine, Science Translational Medicine, American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine and the European Respiratory Journal. We have been funded by the Health Research Board, Science Foundation Ireland, US National Institutes of Health, US Alpha-1 Foundation, as well as investigator-led grants from industry, and we are supportive of applications for independent funding.
The primary focus of this role will be to conduct molecular and cellular analysis of epithelial and immune cells sampled from the airway to elucidate dysfunction due to chronic inflammation or intrinsic defects. Our aim is to better understand the consequences that follow chronic inflammation in the airway and those which stem from intracellular retention of misfolded variants of alpha-1 antitrypsin. To this end, we make use of traditional molecular biology techniques alongside novel approaches including spectral cytometry and super-resolution microscopy. Our group also collaborates with a number of other academic and industrial partners and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to these partnerships. This role will be based in the RCSI Education and Research Centre (ERC) at the Beaumont Hospital campus, Dublin, Ireland, where Prof McElvaney is Consultant Physician in respiratory medicine and chairperson of the Irish Alpha-1 Foundation, based at the ERC.
Specific duties:
- Plan and conduct assays of cell function and disease phenotype using patient cells, plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid including western blotting, flow cytometry, ELISA and biochemical assays.
- Explore novel and existing therapeutic approaches to mitigate cellular dysfunction.
- Contribute to training and supervision of undergraduate, MD and PhD projects.
- Analyse and interpret data and prepare reports in a timely fashion.
- Present outputs at international conferences.
- Prepare manuscripts for publication in high-ranking journals.
- Remain current with developments in the field to maintain and enhance professional expertise.
Qualifications:
- A PhD in a relevant discipline, with expertise in cell and molecular biology, demonstrated through peer-reviewed publication in respected journals. Prior experience in the study of respiratory disease is desirable.
Knowledge & Experience:
- Expertise in a range of molecular biology techniques including flow cytometry would be an advantage; experience with spectral cytometry is desirable.
- Experience handling clinical and biochemical datasets is important, with analyses of large -omic datasets being a particular strength.
- Strong organisation and project management skills are required to work across several studies including good communication skills with an ability to liaise with various stakeholders across institutions.
- Motivation to research the cellular and molecular pathogenesis of chronic respiratory conditions and insights into cell fates during chronic inflammation are advantageous.
We are all too aware that imposter syndrome and the confidence gap can sometimes stop fantastic candidates putting themselves forward, so please do submit an application — we’d love to hear from you.
