PhD Position in Gravitational Waves Physics at IFAE Barcelona
19.09.2025 PhD Position in Gravitational Waves Physics at IFAE Barcelona IFAE is an internationally recognized center for fundamental research in Particle Physics, Astroparticle Physics, and Cosmology. As a PhD student in our group, you will get involved in one of the group’s detector-related activities including LV data characterization, optical simulation studies, or the active monitoring of the stray light inside the LV optical cavities with new photo sensors in an ultra-high vacuum environment. You will also be deeply involved in the physics analysis of the LIGO-Virgo data, in one or more of the subjects described above. In addition, and within the framework of IFAE’s GW research activities, you will be…

ET mourns the loss of Rai Weiss.
ET mourns the loss of Rai Weiss. With deep sadness, the Einstein Telescope Collaboration acknowledges the passing of Rainer Weiss. The longtime MIT professor shared a Nobel Prize for his role in developing the LIGO observatory and detecting gravitational waves. As both a scientist and a mentor, he profoundly influenced many of us. His legacy will continue to guide and inspire us. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Rai´s family, friends, and the wider community. In recent years, Rai made important contributions to the development of the Einstein Telescope vacuum pipe technology, once again proposing innovative and ambitious ideas that exemplified his spirit. https://news.mit.edu/2025/professor-emeritus-rainer-weiss-dies-0826

GWFREERIDE: Carving the AI Gradient in Gravitational-Wave Astronomy, January 26-30 2026, Sexten (Italy)
GWFREERIDE: Carving the AI Gradient in Gravitational-Wave Astronomy, January 26-30 2026, Sexten (Italy) This workshop brings together experts from gravitational-wave astronomy, artificial intelligence, and astrophysical modeling to define key challenges and opportunities for AI in the coming decade. Through interdisciplinary discussions, participants will define pathways to enhance detection and parameter estimation, waveform modeling, and population analysis. The goal is to develop a strategic roadmap for integrating AI methods into gravitational-wave science and maximize the return from future observational campaigns. Workshop Website
