Job Description
Postdoctoral Researcher, Characterisation Scientist: Multi-Attribute Method
2 year contract
Dublin
Role Summary
Our Biopharmaceutical client is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join their team. In collaboration with a leading biopharmaceutical manufacturer, this role will focus on optimisation of various aspects of the multi-attribute method (MAM) to deliver a robust solution using liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry that can be deployed within the routine testing environment. The role will identify, investigate and eliminate sources of variability during sample preparation that may cause unwanted modification of the therapeutics under study, which could otherwise skew the resulting analytical data.
Responsibilities
- You will investigate the root causes of unwanted sample preparation induced modifications on therapeutic proteins during standard workflows used prior to LC-MS based MAM.
- You will use other analytical instrumental approaches, for example, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for the analysis of trace elements or others as necessary to investigate root causes of modification.
- You will investigate how optimised workflows for sample preparation for MAM may be automated, again identifying, investigating and eliminating any potential source of sample preparation induced modification from the workflow.
- You will interact with the industrial sponsor with the highest levels of professionalism and use your project management skills to ensure that experiments are conducted, reported and disseminated according to the agreed project schedule.
- You'll participate in the training and networking activities to ensure that you grow and develop as a scientist, both technically and professionally, bearing in mind that you will be an ambassador for the company in all your activities.
- Create and maintain high quality documentation and you'll actively publish and present your research outputs.
Requirements
- You hold a PhD or have submitted a doctoral thesis for examination in a discipline which the use and application of mass spectrometry instrumentation played a major component.
- You have experience in liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, ideally for therapeutic protein and peptide characterisation.
- You will have a solid understanding of protein chemistry and apply that to develop mitigation and elimination strategies to avoid sample preparation induced modifications, delivering a robust solution that can be transferred into the routine testing environment.
- You'll be self-driven, passionate and committed to delivering robust solutions for the collaborative sponsor, motivated by inquisitiveness and excellent analytical rigour to understand key research challenges and develop appropriate solutions that directly translate into tangible impact.
- You understand the complexities of therapeutic protein characterisation, particularly peptide centred workflows and the intricacies of the use and application of LC-MS and subsequent data processing to deliver excellent analytical solutions.
- You have broad analytical awareness and including interest in the state-of-the-art and movements within the field, such as automation and integration of workflows.
- You're a passionate communicator who is well able to articulate their science using written and verbal English to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
- You're curious and ambitious, you have a track record of proposing and performing excellent analytical science which drives you to achieve. You can actively demonstrate this through your publication record to date.

Job Description
Postdoctoral researcher – Wireless Communications
Contract Type: Full Time/Fixed Term (1.5 years approx.)
Frozen food is a staple in the daily diet of millions worldwide, particularly in developing countries. It provides extended shelf life, reduces food waste, and directly supports societal development goals. However, ensuring that frozen goods remain at sub-zero temperatures throughout transport and storage—the so-called "cold chain"—remains a major logistical challenge. Breaks in the cold chain not only compromise food safety and quality but also lead to significant economic losses. Efficient, reliable, and accountable cold-chain monitoring is therefore essential.
A critical barrier to widespread adoption of monitoring solutions is cost. The frozen food industry operates with traditionally low profit margins, meaning that any added monitoring system must be inexpensive, disposable, and easily integrated. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has emerged as a promising solution. Over the past decade, RFID has gained substantial attention across a range of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, from access control and e-health management to the Meeting, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) industry. Its appeal lies in its low cost, compactness, and simplicity of deployment. Passive RFID tags, in particular, are attractive because they are battery-free and powered solely by the energy transmitted from the RFID reader.
Building on this foundation, this project—funded by ARC-HUB—seeks to develop next-generation antenna for RFID tags with integrated sensing capabilities. In the context of frozen food supply chains, these novel antennas will not only transmit a package's unique identification number but also indicate whether the product has been exposed to temperatures above zero, by altering the input impedance of the tag. This sensing mechanism is designed to be seamless: when illuminated by a standard UHF RFID reader, the tag will transmit a different identification code depending on the sensed temperature state. In this way, the proposed technology transforms passive RFID from a simple tracking tool into a low-cost, disposable sensing platform for cold-chain accountability.
The successful candidate joining this project will become part of the newly established and dynamic Wireless Communications Laboratory. They will engage in cutting-edge antenna research at the intersection of wireless communications and advanced materials, with the opportunity to collaborate with world-leading experts in both fields. The candidate will also gain access to state-of-the-art facilities, including material processing laboratories, mm-wave to sub-THz characterization systems, antenna measurement chambers, and advanced manufacturing infrastructure. This environment provides an exceptional platform for developing the next generation of RFID sensing technologies with direct societal impact.
Key responsibilities
- Carry out independent research in the area of RFID antenna, including antennas and auxiliary circuitry, with clear innovation and commercial potential.
- Design of RFID tags and auxiliary circuitry using electro-magnetic modelling software packages (CST Studio Suite) and their testing in a laboratory setting using Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), RFID interrogator and anechoic chamber.
- Effective liaison with PCB manufacturers in order to ensure rapid turnaround of designed structures.
- Publish in highly esteemed and high impact IEEE journals and conferences.
- With guidance, work and provide help on collaborative research projects, undertaken by the Wireless Communications Laboratory.
- Progress reports, literature reviews and participation in conferences are to be expected.
- Engage in education and public outreach activities as required.
- Ensure compliance with Tyndall's Quality Management System and uphold Health and Safety standards.
- Perform additional duties as reasonably required within the scope and level of the role.
Essential Criteria
- The candidate must have a PhD in an electronic engineering or a related discipline. In addition, the candidate is expected to have a proven track record in the area of antenna and/or microwave engineering (e.g. filters, passive or active microwave circuits), manifested in the publications or patent portfolios.
- Substantial experience in the design and modelling of different RF devices (antennas, antenna arrays and filters)
- Excellent hands-on experience in device testing (antenna chamber and VNA) and RF/material characterization.
- Self-motivated, dynamic and collaborative.
- Strong communication and interactive skills.
Desirable Criteria
- Evidence of creative skills/creativity
- Good mathematical skills and knowledge of mathematical modelling tools such as MATLAB.
- Good skill and knowledge in using CAD electromagnetic simulators, such as CST Studio Suite.
- Good understanding of broad wireless communication concepts – system level analyses, channel propagation models, multi-path propagation and cross-interference suppression and their influence on hardware design.
- Good understanding of the limits of relevant fabrication techniques, such as 3D printing, injection moulding and PCB etching and their influence on RF hardware.
