07.10.2026 Fellowship and tenure-track opportunities in gravitational-wave physics, Mallorca, Spain The GRAVITY group at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) invites expressions of interest from strong candidates we could support for competitive fellowships at various levels: tenure track as well as junior and senior postdocs. Note that some of the deadlines are imminent and we require quick responses by October 25 for full consideration. Our research spans a broad spectrum of topics, including gravitational-wave data analysis, waveform modeling, and numerical relativity. We are particularly interested in applicants whose work will contribute directly to central data analysis deliverables of IGWN, LISA, or the Einstein Telescope. Read more

06.10.2026 PhD Positions in GW Astrophysics & Dark Matter at GRAPPA (UvA) GRAPPA invites applications for one or more PhD positions to work at the interface of general relativity, gravitational wave astrophysics, and dark matter phenomenology within the ERC Advanced Grant “De Tenebris,” led by Prof. G. Bertone. The PhD candidate will develop and apply theoretical and computational models for compact binaries in astrophysical/dark matter environments and contribute to the interpretation of current and future gravitational wave observations (LISA and next-generation ground-based detectors). The position is embedded in a collaborative team with strong ties to the international gravitational wave and dark matter communities. Application deadline December 1st 2026. Read more
