The Astronomy & Astrophysics Section of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) is offering a short-term postdoctoral fellowship (9 months) for research on multiwavelength studies of Nebulae around evolved massive stars as part of the group of Dr. Jonathan Mackey. This short-term position is available to start as soon as the selection process and administrative formalities have been completed.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will receive a salary starting at Level 2A Point 1 of the SFI “team member budget scale” (plus pension and social insurance contributions), computer equipment needed for work, and a small travel allowance. This is a fixed-term position for 9 months. The proposed start date is December 2022 or January 2023, and the place of work will be DIAS Dunsink Observatory.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in Physics or Astronomy & Astrophysics, with research experience in theoretical and observational Astrophysics. Strong candidates should have demonstrated experience in reducing and analysing multiwavelength data (ideally related to nebulae around massive stars in e.g. radio, IR, optical, X-ray bands), be strongly self-motivated, able to conduct independent research as part of a team, and have excellent written and spoken English language skills. Experience with computational fluid-dynamics and/or stellar evolution modelling is an advantage.
For informal scientific enquiries about the positions, contact Jonathan Mackey (mailto:jmackey@cp.dias.ie).
Candidates should apply through the DIAS e-Recruitment system: https://dias.ie/applypostdocfellowmassivestars, where they will be asked to upload a curriculum vitae (2-page max.), a publication list, and a statement of research interests and career goals (2-page max.), all as a PDF document, and arrange for two letters of reference to be sent by email, to Dr Jonathan Mackey (jmackey@cp.dias.ie) by the application deadline.
The deadline for applications is Friday 1st of December 2022 at 5pm Irish Time (GMT).
