The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) is offering a Senior Research Fellowship to work on the development of software and the analysis of data from both ESA’s Solar Orbiter and the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR). Solar Orbiter was launched from NASA Kennedy Space Center on February 9, 2020 and carries onboard a suite of instruments, including the Solar Telescope Imaging X-rays (STIX). LOFAR is a network of radio telescopes that is operated across Europe with a site at Birr Castle in Ireland.
The successful applicant will work on the development of software and the analysis of data from STIX and LOFAR. Ideally we are looking for applicants with experience in software design, Python, and the analysis of solar data from ground- and space- based instruments. They will also be involved in the training of PhD students.
This position is available for 2 years initially, with the possibility of an extension to 3 years. Remuneration is based on the SFI Senior Research Fellow scales and starting salary will depend on experience.
Interested candidates should send a curriculum vitae and a cover letter by December 11, 2020. They should also include the names of two referees. Applicants must have have a PhD in solar physics and experience with software design and development.
DIAS is an Equal Opportunities Employer.
Applications, and submission enquiries, should be sent to Ms Eileen Flood (eflood@cp.dias.ie). Detailed enquiries regarding the project can be made to Prof Peter Gallagher (peter.gallagher@dias.ie).

Meet the Judges of our Astrophotography Competition. First up is @EoinCarley of @DIASAstronomy. Eoin is a Schrödinger Research Fellow, currently working on observation of solar eruptions and flares using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR). Learn more: dias.ie/2020/12/16/rea…
Congratulation to @edmatters on the launch of Ireland's Education Yearbook launched yesterday evening! If you missed it you can watch back at the below link! twitter.com/edmatters/stat…
The provision of such a resource has never been more important to allow Celtic studies scholars continue their work during the time of COVID.
The ISOS project was launched in 1999, and since then has digitised many historical Irish manuscripts from across the world. This work continues today.

Another example of COVID creativity arises from Celtic Studies researchers, who launched the Irish Script on Screen project, so Scholars worldwide could access ancient manuscripts online. So far this year there has been 2,676,399 hits on the on the website. @DIAS_ISOS
Our second example of creativity was from our Theoretical physicists, who continued their collaborative work on complex theorems by installing some blackboards on the railings outside DIAS to work safely in the open air. More: dias.ie/2021/01/13/dia… #DIASdiscovers #blackboard
This week we are looking back over the COVID year of 2020 and celebrating the adaptability of our researchers. First up was the successful COVID compliant @SEA_SEIS expedition in May 2020. Read More: dias.ie/2021/01/13/dia… #covid19 #research #DIASdiscovers #INSN #seismology
DIAS Professor @TomRayDIAS, worked on the JWST to produce the special infrared filters required by the Mid Infra-Red Instrument (MIRI), that break up the light into its various components. JWST is now due to launch in 2021! bbc.com/news/science-e… #DIASdiscovers #JWST #MIRI
Happy New Year! Make the right career move and come work with the incredible team at DIAS supporting frontier research disciplines. More information dias.ie/2020/11/23/sen… #jobfairy #itadmin #it #Systems
