26.05.2026 Expression of interest for postdoctoral positions in GW tests of general relativity, Rome, Italy We invite expressions of interest for postdoctoral positions at the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Rome, Italy. The postdoctoral positions will be funded under the Italian Fund for Science (FIS) Starting Grant Eyes-on-GR, whose goal is testing general relativity with multiband gravitational-wave observations. We are particularly eager to receive expressions of interest from candidates with experience in (i) data analysis with current and next-generation detectors (ii) modeling deviations from general relativity in modified theories of gravity and horizonless compact objects. EoI deadline June 19th 2026. Read more

22.05.2026 Research Postdoctoral Position at Maynooth University, Ireland We are seeking a Post Doctoral Researcher to work in Dr. John Regan’s research group conducting high quality research in astrophysics in the field of massive black hole formation at high redshift. Specifically, the role will require the candidate to actively analyse and disseminate data from the SEEDZ datasets. This will require the candidate to have existing skills in computational astrophysics, high redshift astrophysics, galaxy formation and massive black hole formation and growth. The successful candidate will also be expected to interact with other member of Dr. Regan’s group furthering the group’s research Goals. Closing Date: 23:30hrs (local Irish time) on Sunday,…

20.05.2026 Director Position at Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe, University of Tokyo The Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) invites applications for the position of Director for a five-year term starting on April 1, 2028. Kavli IPMU has ambitious goals to discover the fundamental laws of nature and to understand the universe from synergistic perspectives of mathematics, theoretical and experimental physics, cosmology, and astrophysics. Kavli IPMU is an international research institute established in October 2007 with English as its official language. Its annual budget is approximately $11M. Kavli IPMU is on the Kashiwa campus of the University of Tokyo…

12.05.2026 The RING project in Germany: 1 Postdoc and 14 PhD positions in Physics, Geophysics, Geodesy we would like to draw your attention to the 4-year RING project recently funded by the German Research Foundation (extendable to 8 years). The project has strong overlap with gravitational wave detection research on instrumentation. The project aims at pushing the sensitivity and stability limits of rotational motion sensing with ring laser technology into new realms using approaches from quantum optics and metrology. The ultimate goal is to enable ring laser observations as a complement to classic space-geodetic methods towards more precise, high-rate estimation of Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP). Furthermore, we plan to develop…
