30.07.2025 Postdoc Position in Multi-messenger Astronomy and Data Science at Johns Hopkins University The William H. Miller III Department of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) invites applications for one postdoctoral fellow position to pursue research in time-domain multi-messenger astrophysics with emphasis on data science and AI. The postdoctoral fellow will lead a project focused on developing optimized strategies for observing, processing, and archiving the datasets from current and future large astronomical facilities, with emphasis on radio interferometric arrays, in the pursuit of multi-messenger transients. Key to this project will be the application of AI techniques to streamline the translation of high-level science objectives into concrete observational and…

29.07.2025 PhD Position in Gravitational Waves at Nikhef The PhD position will focus on the development and application of the modelling framework Finesse (https://finesse.ifosim.org/). Finesse is an open source code for modelling laser interferometers for precision experiments and we deliver the software to the large scientific projects Virgo, LIGO and the Einstein Telescope (ET). To keep up with the more advanced instrumentation in ET we are extending and enhancing Finesse. You will make significant contribution to the Python code and you will work as a member of the international design team that defines the shape and performance of the most advanced observatory for gravitational waves. Application deadline: September 15th, 2025.…
