Postdoctoral Positions in Translational Neural Engineering
at Trinity Institute of Neuroscience and the Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering
We are actively seeking to engage with ambitious, highly motivated postdoctoral researchers in neural engineering who are interested in pursuing competitive fellowships to join us at Trinity College Dublin. We particularly welcome candidates with a strong track record in translational neural engineering, spanning areas such as electrophysiological signal processing, neurotechnology development, and clinically grounded AI.
Our clinical focus is on movement disorders, specifically dystonia.
Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work within a highly interdisciplinary environment, closely integrated with clinical partners, and contribute to research that delivers measurable impact in real-world healthcare settings. Prospective fellows will be supported in developing competitive applications to major national and international funding schemes, with a clear focus on advancing innovative, patient-centred solutions in clinical neural engineering.
APPLICATION PROCESS
Applications should include a publication list, a motivation letter (max. 2 pages), the names and contact details of 2 referees, and a CV with information on education and previous research experience in translational neural engineering. This information should be submitted by email to Professor Richard Reilly at reillyri@tcd.ie

The focus of the lab is on clinical neural engineering based on signal processing of neuroimaging and physiological data for specific clinical problems.
Objectives:
-Harvest information from signals acquired from excitable tissue.
-Development of quantitative methods to understand neurological function.
-Development of new analytical, neurophysiological and neuroimaging methods which allow outcomes of interventions to be more accurately predicted.
Our research is in collaboration with clinical colleagues in neurology, neurophysiology, psychiatry, otolaryngology, gerontology and respiratory medicine. The Reilly Lab is a constituent laboratory of the Trinity Centre of Biomedical Engineering and the Trinity Institute of Neuroscience at Trinity College, The University of Dublin.
Irish Dystonia Research Group
The Irish Dystonia Research Group is leading dystonia research in Ireland. As the national representative organisation for dystonia, Dystonia Ireland has a strong collaborative relationship with the Irish Dystonia Research Group and a keen interest in their research findings. Extensive research into dystonia is also ongoing worldwide.
The Irish Dystonia Research Group is focused on uncovering the cause, or causes, of adult-onset dystonia and increasing our understanding of this disorder. This multidisciplinary team comprises neurologists from the Department of Neurology, St Vincent’s University Hospital, and engineers and scientists from the Neural Engineering Laboratory, Trinity College Dublin (with additional national and international collaborators).
