Two 3-year Postdoctoral positions are available to work on modelling outflows from stars (winds) and exoplanets (atmospheric escape). The starting dates of the positions are negotiable, and could be as early as November 2018, but no later than June 2019. Deadline for application submission: 16 September 2018.

The CUTE space mission now has a brand new logo! With this small satellite, we will observe transiting exoplanets in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This will allows us to learn more about atmospheric escape and exoplanetary magnetism.

A PhD position is available to work on “Stellar winds of M dwarfs: Can red stars host habitable exoplanets?”. M dwarf stars are currently the main targets in searches for potentially-habitable terrestrial exoplanets. Deadline for application submission: 18 March 2018. Preferred start date: 3 Sept 2018.

The 2018 edition of the Bcool meeting will be hosted by the School of Physics, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, from 9 to 11 April, 2018. The BCool meetings gather each year specialists on stellar magnetic fields and their impact on exoplanets.

The CUTE space mission was selected by NASA for funding! With this small satellite, we will observe transiting exoplanets in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This will allows us to learn more about atmospheric escape and exoplanetary magnetism. The first CUTE science meeting took place in the School of Physics, TCD, on 26-27 Oct 2017.
