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
