| ERC Research Fellow in Exoplanetary Systems at Trinity College Dublin | Closing date: 2025-01-06
Contact: Luca Matrà |
| We invite applications for a 3-year Research Fellow position in Exoplanetary Systems at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), Ireland. The successful candidate will join Prof. Luca Matrà's E-BEANS ERC-funded research group, with the overarching goal of understanding the potential for young Earth analogues to be provided with volatile molecules in the latest stages of formation. | | ▸ more | The candidate's work will be in the broad areas of exocometary belts and/or detection of exoplanets in these systems and/or volatile delivery mechanisms. The group is leading large collaborations including the REASONS survey and the ARKS ALMA Large program, and benefits from multiwavelength expertise with HST, VLT/CRIRES+ and JWST data. The group also has access to dedicated computing servers and high-performance facilities.
Applicants must have a PhD in Astrophysics or related field, or have satisfied the requirements of a PhD. Preference will be given to applicants with expertise specific to the areas described above, but consideration will be given to candidates more broadly experienced with circumstellar disks and/or exoplanets and/or planet formation, both theory and observations.
The candidate will actively contribute to and interact with the group and the broader Trinity Astrophysics Group, a friendly and vibrant environment researching exoplanet systems/atmospheres, supernovae, pulsars, and light pollution, currently including three ERCs, as well as Marie-Curie and Royal Society fellowship awardees.
The full-time position is available for three years starting on September 1st, 2025 (negotiable). The starting salary will normally be in the range EUR 46,305-48,896 depending on qualifications and experience, plus benefits and funding for travel and relocation costs.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, a CV with publication list, two letters of recommendation (max 2-pages), and a research statement (max 3-pages). Complete applications received by the application deadline of January 6th, 2025 will receive full consideration. Applications from traditionally under-represented minorities in physics and astronomy are particularly welcome.
