23.07.2025 Research Associate Searching for high-frequency gravitational waves at University of Hamburg The successful candidate will be strongly engaged in the experimental work in our Astroparticle Physics group which is part of the Cluster of Excellence “Quantum Universe”. A new experiment to search for MHz gravitational waves is currently in the prototype stage. You will be driving the design and optimization of the RF detector that will be operated inside a 14 T solenoid to search for both transient and stochastic gravitational waves. Your main contributions will be the installation and commissioning of the first detector design, reduction of noise contributions and running a matched-template search on real-time data for…

22.07.2025 Junior Research Fellow position on Gravitational Wave Astronomy and Astrophysics in Mumbai Applications are invited from highly motivated candidates with interests in basic science and astrophysics for a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) position for two years with a possibility of extension by one more year with a starting date from September 15th, 2025 or later to work on a project with the title “A Data-Driven Reconstruction of the Hierarchy of Black Hole Formation and Evolution over Cosmic Time Using Gravitational Waves” in the research group of Dr. Suvodip Mukherjee, Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, funded by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation, Government of…

21.07.2025 Two postdoc positions in the Nikhef Gravitational Wave Group The postdoctoral researchers will focus on advancing the detailed understanding of site-specific noise sources in the geology of the EMR region, and their impact on the Einstein Telescope. This includes the characterization of seismic activity, electromagnetic disturbances, and the modeling and prediction of Newtonian Noise that impacts the detector’s low-frequency performance. A key aspect of the research will be the development of noise mitigation tools. The successful candidates will have a strong background in mathematical and computational methods, with demonstrated experience in the data analysis of complex physical systems. You will collaborate with a team of experts at Nikhef, as…
