Research Position (Postdoc) in the field Gravitational Wave Detector Instrumentation at Leibniz Universität Hannover
The Institute for Gravitational Physics invites applications for the following position starting at the earliest possible date: Research Position (Postdoc) in the field Gravitational Wave Detector Instrumentation (salary scale 13 TV-L, 100 %). The fixed-term position is limited to 3 years. This position is part of the project “Developing a modular suspension platform interferometer for the Einstein Telescope” which aims to investigate and design an ultra-sensitive interferometric sensor for sensing and controlling the motion between seismically isolated platforms for the next generation Einstein Telescope gravitational wave detector. The research will be carried out at the 10m Prototype Facility (https://10m.aei.mpg.de/) which is jointly operated by Leibniz University Hannover and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics. This project will build upon pioneering research conducted in this research group and ensure that a design of an inter-platform sensor specific for Einstein Telescope will be mature and ready for installation. Applications by October 11th 2026.
