Postdoc position in gravitational waves Theory at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena
05.06.2025 Postdoc position in gravitational waves Theory at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universitaet Jena. The appointment is associated with the research group of Prof. Sebastiano Bernuzzi at the Theoretical Physics Institute. The selected candidate is expected to work on the project “GROOVHY: Gravitational radiation from black holes’ hyperbolic mergers”, which is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The project’s workplan spans effective-one-body models for hyperbolic and generic-orbit binary black hole mergers, numerical-relativity and test-body perturbative simulations, and Bayesian data analysis of non-circularized black hole mergers. Applications should be received by August 1st, 2025, but will be considered until the position is filled.…

ET Innovation Scouts: Transferring ET technology to industry
Methods and technologies developed for fundamental research can yield unexpected but highly beneficial outcomes for society and the economy. The German ET Community now formed an Innovation Scout Initiative that will help to identify and transfer technologies developed for ET from the Community to industry. The kick-off with the first Innovation Scouts was held in Aachen, at the invitation of RWTH.During the very productive meeting, participants discussed successful examples of technology transfer between academia and industry, highlighting the mutual benefits of such collaborations. Other key topics included intellectual property and patent law, with a focus on how best to protect and manage innovations. The meeting marked an important step towards ensuring…
