Position open for applications: IMI2 PD-MitoQuant Programme and Data Manager

Project Title:
PD-MitoQUANT – A quantitative approach towards the characterisation of mitochondrial dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease

The PD-MitoQUANT project (2019-2022) is an academia-industry consortium, coordinated by RCSI, which has received funding from the Horizon 2020 Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) to investigate mitochondrial dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The PD-MitoQUANT consortium leverages multi-disciplinary expertise in the fields of PD, mitochondrial function, neuronal biochemistry, and systems biology. Through integrated in vitro, in vivo and in silico approaches, PD-MitoQUANT will perform thorough and unprecedented investigations of mitochondrial dysfunction in PD, identify and validate novel disease biomarkers, and propose innovative therapeutic targets. PD-MitoQUANT will initiate a European research platform of excellence in PD that will continue beyond the project, providing long-term and sustainable progress in the understanding of mitochondrial dysfunction in PD, towards clinical application.

Objective:
The objective of this post is to manage and co-coordinate the research, data management, dissemination and commercialization activities of the IMI2 JU PD-MitoQUANT Consortium. This includes promoting the interaction of the academic and industrial partners of the Consortium and Prof Prehn’s team to facilitate novel avenues of research support and industry-academia collaborations.

Application Process
Please apply online no later than 5pm on the closing date with your CV and Covering Letter.
