The Education, Engagement, and Data Science Manager (EEDSM) will work with DIAS, STREAM Birr, TUS, outreach teams to continue and expand on the work of
The Astronomical Midlands project at the I-LOFAR Education Centre in Birr, Co. Offaly funded by SFI Discover programme from 2019 to 2021. This is a specific purpose contract type with expected minimum duration of 1 year. The original Astronomical Midlands successfully embarked on a regional engagement project that used the recently constructed Irish Low Frequency Array (I-LOFAR;

The EEDSM will further their work through the following initiatives in close collaboration with the teams at DIAS, STREAM Birr, and Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) and the Advanced Technologies in Manufacturing
