<div><b>Postdoctoral Fellowship with the Magnetic Network of
Ireland</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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 (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.magie.ie">www.magie.ie</a>). 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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Astronomy & Astrophysics Section
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.dias.ie/astrophysics">www.dias.ie/astrophysics</a>) 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).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Applicants should upload the following all as one pdf file:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>• Cover letter including research interests and career goals
(maximum 2 pages)</div>
<div>• Curriculum Vitae (maximum 2 pages)</div>
<div>• Publication list</div>
<div>• Names of two referees (contacted at interview stage)</div>
<div><br>
