25.09.2026 PhD Position: Search for quantization of space-time with photon counting interferometry in Cardiff The Gravity Exploration Institute at Cardiff University has an open PhD position in gravitational-wave and fundamental physics instrumentation. The post will initially be focused on developing of a new optical readout scheme for laser interferometry, that uses photon counting instead of continuous-wave photodetection. The work will be developed in context with our world-leading table-top experiment, and is being funded by an ERC advanced grant. Please talk to Prof. Hartmut Grote if you have further questions. Closing date for the application is 30 October 2026. Read more

25.09.2026 Postdoctoral Positions in Gravitational-Wave Science at Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Potsdam Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity Department · Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute), Potsdam, GermanyGravitational-wave astronomy is moving from discovery to precision science. The Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity (ACR) department at the Albert Einstein Institute (AEI) in Potsdam works across the full chain of that transition — from first-principles modeling of strong-field gravity, through numerical relativity, to the analysis and interpretation of data from LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA today, and from Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer and LISA in the decade ahead.AEI invites applications for several postdoctoral appointments, offered at different…

24.09.2026 PhD in Experimental Astroparticle Physics at KIT The Institute of Experimental Particle Physics (ETP) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) invites applications for a doctoral position in High-Energy Astroparticle Physics within the IceCube Neutrino Observatory collaboration. The successful candidate will contribute to cutting-edge research in cosmic-ray physics using IceCube. A central focus of the project is the recently upgraded IceCube surface detector array, where the existing IceTop is being extended by a hybrid network of radio antennas and scintillation detectors. The doctoral researcher will play a key role in the calibration, event reconstruction, and scientific analysis of data from this novel detector array. Application deadline: November 14th, 2026.…
