The Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies (DIAS) is
offering a PhD studentship to work primarily in the area of star and
planet formation. This project is funded by Science Foundation
Ireland (SFI) through an SFI Starting Investigator Research Grant and
will involve the use of IR interferometric data from VLTI-GRAVITY and
-MATISSE, on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT).The data pool
obtained will also serve to develop a statistical imaging
reconstruction method for geo-stationary satellite imaging.
The student will join a vibrant group working with
JWST, near-infrared and radio interferometry and with a strong
background in astrophysical simulations. He/she is expected to
register in Trinity College Dublin and will be co-supervised by
Professor Tom Ray and Dr. Rebeca Garcia Lopez. Requirements:
applicants need to have gained a first class or upper second honors
degree (or equivalent) or a master’s degree in an appropriate subject
e.g. astronomy or physics. A good command of English, to at least
IELTS level 6.5, is also required for international applicants. The
successful student will be expected to start on 1st October 2019.
For
additional information regarding the research topic, please contact
Dr. Rebeca Garcia Lopez (rgarcia@cp.dias.ie)
or, if you have a question regarding the terms and conditions of the
studentship, Eileen Flood (eflood@cp.dias.ie).
Applicants should include the following documents with their
application: degree certificates (where available) and transcript of
records, a brief description of their research interests and
experience, along with the names and contact details of two referees
who can be approached for letters of recommendation. Completed
applications should be sent directly to Eileen Flood
(eflood@cp.dias.ie)
and those submitted by Friday 10th May 2019 will receive our full
consideration.
DIAS is an equal opportunity employer.
Included Benefits: Studentships will be awarded
for a total of four years, of which the first year is probationary,
and will cover all university fees, the cost of a laptop, travel to
conferences, etc., and a tax-free maintenance allowance of €18,500

This work was to help towards the preservation of the Irish Language, to maintain it's continuity with the past, and was to become a resource for teachers to check pronunciation #DIASdiscovers #Irish #Irishlanguage #CelticStudies #Gaelic
The researchers used the International Phonetic Alphabet, slightly modified to represent vowels and consonants of living speech. At that time there were concerns over the deterioration of the Irish language due to the "overpowering influence of English"
Date: 02 June 1943 Paper: The Irish Press Synopsis: In 1943, a phonetic investigation led by Brian Ó Cuív, Risteárd B. Breathnach and Tomás de Bhaldraithe of DIAS would begin the first systematic scientific recording of the varied sounds of modern Gaelic speech.

The papers were 1) Affine Field Theory: conservation identitites and relation to Weyl and Eddington 2)The Union of the three fundamental fields (Gravitation, Menson, Electromagnetism) Which went on to secure worldwide acclaim. #DIASdiscovers

"In the lives of St. Patrick, the two saints are invariably fused into one", said Prof. O'Rahilly in his lecture. The lecture was a condensation from O’Rahilly’s book “The two Patricks: a lecture on the history of Christianity in fifth-century Ireland”. (4/5)
He was known by his first name Patricius, which in later times would lead to confusion as he was succeeded by another apostle of the same name (Saint Patrick or Patricius in Latin). (3/5)
He spoke on "Palladius and Patrick". Palladius was the first bishop of the Christians of Ireland. (2/5)
Date: 21st March 1942 Paper: The Irish Press Headline: Palladius and Patrick | School Of Celtic Studies Lecture Synopsis: The first public lecture under the auspices of the School of Celtic Studies was delivered in Trinity College by Professor T. F. O'Rahilly in 1942. (1/5)
As part of our ongoing participation in the @HistFest we decided to take a look into the Irish Newspaper Archives and see where DIAS made it into print over the last 80 years. There were so many articles, the hardest part was selecting what we would post. We hope you enjoy!
@AReillyFailte @CultureNight @VisitDublin Thanks Antoinette! Glad you enjoyed 😊
