29.09.2026 The Center of Gravity: Exchange of researchers working on gravitational physics Grants for short term scientific missions (STSMs) are available to visit and work on research projects within the Center of Gravity (CoG), a DNRF Center of Excellence at the Niels Bohr Institute and at the AEI Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity Department (ACR), a partner of CoG. We are inviting you to submit proposals for STMSs starting after April, 2027 and ending before October 1, 2027 (applications outside this timeframe will be discarded). We are looking for exciting and challenging research proposals to be developed jointly with our members. We value high risk/high gain proposals at the boundary between…

29.09.2026 PhD positions at the Center of Gravity, Copenhagen The Center of Gravity at the Niels Bohr Institute (NBI) invites expressions of interest for a PhD fellowship in gravitational-wave theory and solutions to the relativistic 2-body problem under the supervision of Maarten van de Meent. The preferred starting date is Fall 2027. To receive full consideration, interested candidates should upload the material requested below before December 15th, 2026. The search will remain open until the optimal candidates are found. Successful candidates will join the GWSKy project, funded by an ERC Synergy Grant.

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…
