It is the leading university in Northern Ireland and a member of the Russell Group, a grouping of twenty of the leading research-intensive universities in the UK. It has a long and illustrious reputation in atomic and molecular physics with many of the founding fathers of the subject (Massey, Bates, Dalgarno) having been members of academic staff. Research in astrophysics is undertaken in the School of Mathematics and Physics in the Centre for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics and in the Astrophysics Research Cluster (ARC). The work to be undertaken at QUB will be led by Professor T J Millar, one of he world’s leading astrochemists and creator and maintainer of the UMIST Database for Astrochemistry, and who leads the Molecular Astrophysics group in ARC.
