Assistant / Associate Professor in Gravitational Wave Physics at Imperial College London
Gravitational wave (GW) physics has opened a new observational window into the Universe, enabling fundamental tests of gravity, probing compact objects and fundamental physics, and providing new constraints on cosmology. With next-generation observatories including LIGO, the Einstein Telescope, LISA, NanoGrav/PTA and the Simons Observatory reaching new sensitivities or coming online, the field is at an exciting point in its development. The Department of Physics at Imperial College London has internationally leading expertise in theoretical and experimental physics, spanning astrophysics, cosmology, gravity, fundamental physics and precision measurement. We seek an outstanding academic to join us as an Assistant or Associate Professor in Gravitational Wave Physics. Application close: September 30th 2026.
