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

Just in case you have had a 'Eureka' moment in the weeks you've been at home, and have an event idea for this coming Science Week, @scienceirel has revised the deadline for submission of applications to the SFI Discover Programme - Science Week Call 2020. #DIASdiscovers
Look to the stars this evening, you might catch the International Space Station (ISS) visible over Ireland at 8.45pm. 🌌 DIAS completed the first ever Irish experiment on the ISS using DIAS detectors to measure the effects of cosmic radiation on the human body. #DIASdiscovers
📢 Calling all Irish Secondary Students 📢 Ireland joined ESO in 2018, and so this is now open to Irish students. DIAS' @TomRayDIAS was appointed as the astronomer representing Ireland on the ESO Council at that time. @issu4u @carlobrien @ScoilnetPPrim @NPCpp #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/ESO/status/124…
In keeping with fun educational scientific activities in the home, we thought this listing from the @Perimeter might be a welcome distraction for kids (and parents) #stayathome #coronavirus #quarantinelife twitter.com/Perimeter/stat…
ICYMI- @Luke_Drury in a timely article by @sthompsonIT of the @IrishTimes "We need a structure within the academic community that can feed knowledge, expertise and insight into policy making in Ireland." #DIASdiscovers
Instruments that will be used on the James Webb Space Telescope were developed by scientists led by @TomRayDIAS, from the @DIASAstronomy #DIASdiscovers

Today is the 25th anniversary of the passing of Professor J.L Synge. Part 6 and the final #SyngeWeek installment will go live this evening on our website at 6pm #DIASdiscovers
What a great idea! 👩🚀👩🚀 twitter.com/SpaceStnExplor…
#SyngeWeek Part5 is now live on our website! "One of the attractions [of coming to DIAS] for me in 1948 was the prospect of being a colleague of Schrödinger. " Read more: dias.ie/2020/03/23/syn… Returning visitors remember to clear those cookies! #DIASdiscovers
Part 5 of #SyngeWeek covers his career with DIAS, the publication of "Relativity:The General Theory" which made DIAS the leading centre for research in General relativity for the following decade. Part 4 is availble until 6pm: dias.ie/2020/03/23/syn… #DIASdiscovers
On tonight! Don't miss your chance to see this fascinating documentary about Schroedinger's time in DIAS and the seminal discovery it lead to. Not forgetting he was DIAS' first Director of Theoretical Physics. @RTEOne #DIASdiscovers #schrodinger
