The fellow recruited will work primarily in the field of spectro-polarimetry using data from SPIRou on the CFHT to help understand magnetic fields in young stars and their disks. This fellowship is available for 4 years beginning December 2018 (the precise starting date is negotiable). Remuneration is based on Science Foundation Ireland Scales 2A or 2B ((see here) and starting salary will depend on experience.
