09.07.2025 PhD Scholarships in Observational, Computational & Theoretical Astrophysics at Swinburne University of Technology The Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing (CAS) at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne invites applications from high-calibre students of any nationality for its PhD program. CAS is one of Australia’s largest astronomy research institutes, with approximately 28 faculty, 20 postdoctoral researchers, and 50 PhD students. Swinburne has guaranteed access to the 10-m Keck telescopes, with our astronomers and students regularly obtaining time at the world’s major optical and radio observatories. They also study gravitational wave sources with LIGO, and use Ngarrgu Tindebeek, the next generation Australian Supercomputer for theoretical and observational astrophysics. Application deadline: August…

09.07.2025 Call for Expression of Interest (2026): Tenure-Track Positions in the Department of Physics Instituto Superior Técnico – University of Lisbon The Department of Physics at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) from researchers across all branches of physics (theoretical and experimental) who aspire to build international research careers and establish dynamic research groups. As a leading institution in Portugal and Europe, IST provides an exceptional research environment with outstanding students, making it an ideal setting for cutting-edge research. This initiative seeks to identify areas of research with high growth potential for the Department of Physics. In 2026, based on the results, we will launch international calls…

08.07.2025 Research Software Engineer position the Gravitational-Wave Science Center (GWSC) of the University of Geneva GWSC at the University of Geneva is looking for a Research Software Engineer. This position is funded through a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) FLARE program on critical elements of the low latency computing infrastructure for the International Gravitational Wave detector Network (IGWN). Currently used by the Virgo, LIGO and KAGRA collaborations, the IGWN low latency computing infrastructure is crucial for detecting gravitational wave events with the minimal latency possible, enabling multi-messenger science. We offer a full-time contract of one year initially, renewable for one additional year upon satisfactory performance. The expected starting date of…

08.07.2025 PhD school in Physics at the University of Ferrara: call for applications open until July 29th The Ferrara Research unit of ET is currently involved in the birefringence measurements of different substrate materials and coatings. This is becoming and important characterisation of the optical elements especially after the difficulties encountered by KAGRA. We are also setting up a high finesse cavity for measuring the birefringence noise of new high reflectivity coatings. Read more
