Positions

There are a number of regular opportunities available to join our group - see below. Please feel free to contact me (n.gibson [AT] tcd.ie) if you have any queries. There may also be other opportunities that arise from time to time. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

PhD opportunities

Most PhDs in Ireland are funded via personal scholarships. The most common in astronomy is via Research Ireland, which pays student fees plus a stipend for 4 years. Calls open annually, generally in September, with deadline in October. You should contact your potential supervisor well in advance of the deadline.

Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunities

Research Ireland also offer funding for postdoctoral fellowships. These are typically 2-year positions, with funding deadline in November.

There is also an advanced fellowship via Research Ireland and the Royal Society. This is a 8-year position. I am happy to support applications in the area of exoplanets and their atmospheres, and more generally the astronomy group are open to supporting applications from other areas of astronomy. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

Finally there is also funding available via the European Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowships program. These are available for anyone moving to Ireland from abroad, and are typically 2 years.
