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…

06.05.2026 Call for postdoctoral positions at Université Paris-Saclay The Graduate School of Physics at Université Paris-Saclay, France, is launching the second call of its new postdoctoral fellowship program: UPSaclay-STAR-φ, supported by the EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND. The program will recruit up to 41 international postdoctoral researchers over two calls, for 24-month projects in one of the 40 laboratories of the Graduate School, working on various fields from fundamental to applied physics. The CMS group of CEA-Saclay IRFU (contact: julie.malcles(at)cea.fr) is a possible host group, among others. The application deadline for the first call is July 15, 2026 at 5pm and the expected start of fellowships early 2027 (flexible). Read more
