  • The RING project in Germany – 1 Postdoc and 14 PhD positions in Physics, Geophysics, Geodesy

    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…

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 (trans-) portable ring lasers fit for weak, broadband 6 degree-of-freedom ground motion observations towards better understanding…

  • Ringdown in Lisbon, October 19-21 2026

    Ringdown in Lisbon, October 19-21, 2026 In the last year, the realm of black hole quasi-normal modes have been more vibrant than ever. The large number of updates is recognisable in the rise of a vibrant, young and motivated community that is pushing the boundaries of where we can test the nature of black holes with gravitational waves observations. The aim of this workshop is to give a space to this community for relaxed discussion session and fostering the birth of collaborations. Workshop Website

    After three years in office, Michèle Heurs hands over her role as German Representative in the ET Forum of National Representatives to Oliver Gerberding. Oliver was unanimously appointed to this role by the German Research Unit leaders. Formally, the National Representative (NR) has two mandates: Michèle convened the first meeting of the German Coordination Group (consisting of the German RU leaders and representatives from involved organisations) in January 2024. Since then, the team has achieved a great deal together. „The past three years have been intense, exciting and very successful. I am very pleased with what we have accomplished in ET Germany in my role as FNR, and happy to…
