CEDAR email: Postdoctoral Fellowship with the Magnetic Network of Ireland

[Alexandra Ruth Fogg]

*Postdoctoral Fellowship with the Magnetic Network of Ireland*

The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) invites applicants for 
a PhD Scholarship focussed on geomagnetic storms and their technological 
impacts using data from the Magnetic Network of Ireland (www.magie.ie). 
In particular, the Fellow will undertake data analysis and modelling of 
magnetic and electric fields in Ireland, and how they respond to solar 
activity on short-timescales. In addition, they will be involved in 
modelling geomagnetically induced currents in the Irish power grid.

The Astronomy & Astrophysics Section (www.dias.ie/astrophysics) includes 
a vibrant community of researchers working on a range of topics 
including solar physics and solar system research, high-energy 
astrophysics, exoplanets and star formation. The Research Fellow will be 
based in the Astronomy & Astrophysics Section, DIAS Dunsink Observatory, 
Dublin 15, and will work in close cooperation with DIAS Geophysics, 
Geological Survey Ireland (GSI) and Met Éireann (ME).

Applicants are expected to have a PhD in solar physics, space weather, 
geomagnetism or a related field. Experience with field-work involving 
the installation and maintenance of magnetometers or similar equipment 
is desirable. Experience in data analysis and programming is essential 
(e.g., Python or similar), as is capacity for original research. They 
will be expected to disseminate results via publications and at national 
and international conferences and they will be involved in the training 
of a PhD student.

This position is available for 2 years initially with the possibility of 
extension to 4 years. The Fellow will receive a starting salary on Level 
2 of the SFI team member scale commensurate with experience. The 
appointee will be subject to the general Irish public sector regulations 
as regards annual leave, sick leave, pension entitlements etc. 
Interested candidates should submit an application through the DIAS 
online e-recruitment system here by 12:00 Dublin time on Friday 21 March 
2025.

Applicants should upload the following all as one pdf file:

• Cover letter including research interests and career goals (maximum 2 
pages)
• Curriculum Vitae (maximum 2 pages)
• Publication list
• Names of two referees (contacted at interview stage)

Detailed enquiries regarding the research project can be made to 
Professor Peter Gallagher (peter.gallagher at dias.ie), while submission 
enquiries can be directed to astrophysics at dias.ie.

At DIAS we are committed to building an inclusive scientific community, 
distinguished by scientific excellence, gender balance, and diversity.
