Trinity College Dublin seeks applications for one and potentially two Assistant Professorships in Solar or Stellar Astrophysics. The successful candidate(s) will have a PhD and a proven post-doctoral track record in areas that complement and extend existing research in the School of Physics’ solar and stellar physics research groups (http://www.physics.tcd.ie/astrophysics). Areas of potential interest include space weather, solar-terrestrial physics and evolved stars, including theoretical modelling of solar and stellar atmospheres, but candidates with expertise in other areas of numerical modelling are also encouraged to apply.

One permanent appointment will be made and a second position may be filled subject to the successful candidate having secured funding from an external funding agency. The second appointment will be a fixed-term contract of up to five years (depending on the funding available).

The deadline for applications is 12 noon on Thursday, 25 June 2015.

The School of Physics has been awarded Institute of Physics Juno Practitioner status for taking action to address gender inequities across its student and staff body. It is committed to promoting better working practices for men and women. The School welcomes applications from all qualified applicants, and applications are particularly encouraged from traditionally under-represented groups in Physics.
