Postdoctoral Fellowship with the DIAS Solar Physics Group
3 weeks ago
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) in the Astronomy & Astrophysics Section working with the Solar Physics and Space Weather group. The Astronomy & Astrophysics Section is a vibrant and inclusive community of researchers working on planetary science, solar physics, space weather, star formation, and high-energy astrophysics.
The successful applicant will be primarily involved in an EU H2020 Project, ARCAFF , which will combine over 26 years worth of solar observation (millions of images) with state-of-the-art deep learning techniques to enhance active region classifications and flare forecasts. These outputs will also be integrated into SolarMonitor.org. The successful candidate will collaborate with researchers locally and internationally on the preparation of data for and the development and training of deep learning models for flare forecasting.
- Doctorate in solar physics, heliospheric physics, machine learning, or related discipline
- Experience with Linux/Unix operating systems
Preferred qualifications:
- Experience with data analysis using the scientific Python stack (e.g., NumPy, Matplotlib, SciPy, Astropy, SunPy).
- Experience with the preparation and analysis of solar data, particularly EUV images (SDO/AIA, SOHO/EIT) and magnetograms (SDO/HMI, SOHO/MDI).
- Experience with the development and application of deep learning models to solar observations (e.g. PyTorch or TensorFlow).
- Continuous integration and development tools (e.g., GitLab, GitHub)
Responsibilities:
- Participate in the creation of training datasets for flare forecasting.
- Collaborate on the development and training of deep learning models for flare forecasting.
- Contribute to the integration of developed models into SolarMonitor.org.
- Presenting research at international conferences and writing publications.
- Liaising and collaborating with other ARCAFF researchers (internal and external).
This position is available for up to a maximum of 1 year (12 months) starting as soon as possible (the ARCAFF project and hence contract end date is Nov 30th 2025). The Fellow will receive a salary starting at Level 2A Point 1 of the SFI team member budget scale (€44,847). The appointee will be subject to the general Irish public sector regulations as regards annual leave, sick leave, pension entitlements etc. For any questions related to the role please contact us at astrophysics@dias.ie.
Applications should consist of:
- Cover letter including research interests and career goals (2 pages maximum)
- Names of 2 referees (contacted at interview stage)
Candidates should upload these as one single pdf document to the DIAS online e-recruitment system here by 17:00 local Irish time on 5 December 2024.
