Centre for Astrophysics and Relativity

So if you like Astrophysics or Relativity you know you can do a one year (12 month) MSc in Astrophysics & Relativity here @DCU. Applications are being accepted so take a look at dcu.ie/courses/postgr… @DCUFSH @DCUMaths @DCUPhysics

We're delighted to announce our @SpaceWeekIRL evening of talks about our universe on Wed 4th October. The event is free, but is always very popular so booking is essential: eventbrite.ie/e/deep-space-t… @DCU @DCUFSH @DCUMaths @DCUPhysics

Great to see our Director re-appointed to the Board of the Irish Research Council! @DCUFSH @DCUMaths @DCUPhysics

Boxing and science are not careers that necessarily go hand-in-glove. That is unless you are Prof Peter Taylor, a theoretical physicist and former Ireland amateur boxer, now plying his academic trade at DCU. Read here 👉 launch.dcu.ie/3QUAKfD

Very interesting opportunity for members of this community. @PhysicsUcc @UCD_physics @PhysicsUofG @tcdastro @MU_Physics @cfar_dcu @WeAreTUDublin @DIASAstronomy @MTU_PhysSci

Here's my 120 second science episode on exoplanets. @DCUPhysics @cfar_dcu audioboom.com/posts/8320656-…

@UCC @PhysicsUcc are delighted to host the 2023 INAM Meeting, this August 👨‍🚀🌙🪐🌌🌒 Abstract Submissions - shorturl.at/hGN45 @CorkAstronomy @SEFSUCC @AstroSocIreland @blackrockcastle

Interested un doing a PhD? @DCUMaths is offering a PhD scholarship, including fees and a stipend of €25k per annum. So if you're interested in working with us in computational astrophysics or relativity this is your chance! Deadline 23rd June, details at cfar.ie/phd-scholarshi…

We're looking forward to seeing our members at INAM 2023, which will be hosted by @PhysicsUcc. Abstract submission open until July 15: forms.gle/jL87KZgnvh9zYv…. Registration will open at the end of June.

Two lecturing positions in astro at @DCUPhysics (one permanent). The successful candidates will be invited to be part of CfAR :) Come work with us!

See our CfAR colleague, Masha Chernyakova, discussing black holes ... :) @DCUMaths @DCUPhysics

@DCU School of Physical Sciences is seeking an Assistant Professor in Computational Physics to support rollout of #DCUFutures BSc Physics with Data Analytics. Full details: dcu.ie/sites/default/… #wearehiring #jobopportunities @DCUFSH @DCU_Research @scienceirel

Ireland risks being ‘left behind’ in research unless we catch up with EU, academics warn irishtimes.com/ireland/educat…

@DCU BSc Physics with Astronomy third year students visiting the ISDC Data Centre for Astrophysics @unige_en in Geneva to learn about current and future space missions in astronomy and discuss how astronomers are trying to figure out the mysteries of the Universe. @DCU @cfar_dcu

The next CAR seminar is on Mon 8th May: " Is the Universe isotropic and homogeneous" by Dr Eoin Ó Colgain (ATU, Sligo). It's at midday in X131 in @DCUFSH @DCUMaths @DCUPhysics Should be very interesting ....

Last Friday marked the graduation of the 1st cohort of students from our MSc in Astrophysics and relativity! What a journey it's been, and it's great to celebrate with our first graduates. And if you might be interested in doing the MSc take a look at dcu.ie/courses/postgr… 🙂

Mt first publication with my DCU affiliation. Hopefully the first of many, definitely more in the pipeline. @DCUPhysics @cfar_dcu authors.elsevier.com/c/1gt0p4wjQhCo…

Our CfAR colleague @minion_for_hire is giving a @DCUPhysics seminar this week on his plans for developing his research group - there'll be a lot of exoplanet observations spoken about! N115 on Thursday at 1pm. Another busy week of astro in Dublin 🙂

This week's CfAR seminar is on Wednesday at 1pm. Our speaker is Dr Volker Heesen (Hamburg Observatory, Universität Hamburg) and the title is "Cosmic rays and magnetic fields in nearby galaxies studied with radio continuum observations". Tea/coffee from 12:45pm!

The next CfAR seminar is on Wed 22nd March in the Lonsdale Building on the Glasnevin Campus and will be delivered by the fantastic Prof Catherine Walsh @cwalshastrochem. It is entitled "Organic chemistry during planet formation". Can't wait! @DCUMaths @DCUPhysics @DCUFSH
