Gravitational Wave Cosmology: From Theory to Experiments in Swansea
18.03.2026 Gravitational Wave Cosmology: From Theory to Experiments in Swansea This PhD studentship offers the chance to develop an ambitious research project at the interface of theory and experiment in gravitational-wave physics and cosmology. Working closely with experienced faculty, the student will explore fundamental questions about the Early Universe and the dark sector, which together shape most of the cosmos we observe today. Many of the most compelling models in these areas predict stochastic backgrounds of gravitational waves—signals that may be detected by current and next-generation experiments. Applcation deadline: April 6th 2026. Read more

PhD positions in GW instrumentation and data Analysis in Ghent
18.03.2026 PhD positions in GW instrumentation and data Analysis in Ghent The Ghent Gravity Group is seeking applications for PhD positions in gravitational-wave (GW) instrumentation and data analysis. Members of the group are involved with Virgo instrumentation, LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) data analysis, and Observational Science with the Einstein Telescope (ET). The group is well-embedded in the Virgo / LVK Collaborations (we are already in VirgoLab and are expecting to join IGWN) and Ghent University is also one of the initial members of the Einstein Telescope Collaboration. Moreover Ghent University is a founding partner of the ETpathfinder project, and members of the group take part in the instrumentation developments related to this…

Iberian GW Meeting and International School on GWs 2026, Apr 26 – May 02, Benasque
Iberian GW Meeting and International School on GWs 2026, Apr 26 – May 02, Benasque The Iberian Gravitational Wave Meetings (IGWM) are annual meetings organized by the REDONGRA community which have played a key role in establishing a Spanish GW community, and in integrating new groups. We organize these meetings with focus on specific joint R&D activities, in particular toward maximizing the Spanish role in the breakthrough discoveries expected in the next few years (the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detections and the new Pulsar Timing Array data), and in developing the future Einstein Telescope (ET) and LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) observatories.
