We study transport through a system composed of a single-level quantum dot tunnel-coupled to a metallic island. Such a system is of interest since it can be used to model transport trough a large island in series with charge trap centers [1]. A real-time diagrammatic technique [2,3], capable of accounting for non-equilibrium, Coulomb interaction and high-order tunneling processes, is employed to investigate transport in the resonant tunneling regime under the influence of a finite interaction strength between the dot and the island.
