02.12.2025 Postdoctoral position in GW cosmology at ICG, University of Portsmouth This postdoctoral position will focus on testing dark energy and modified gravity models with cosmological observations. Two aspects of this are of interest for this position, candidates are welcome via either route: i) Linking simulations of large-scale structure (LSS) in modified gravity theories to observables relevant to stage IV surveys. ii) Testing gravity through the association of gravitational waves (GWs) and galaxies, e.g. dark sirens, GW-galaxy cross-correlation. Application deadline: 02/01/2026 Read more

02.12.2025 PhD and Postdoc positions in Hannover Opportunities at Hannover University: a PhD position and a postdoctoral position. The successful candidates will be part of my Emmy Noether research group in the ITP, dedicated to “probing the primordial universe with gravitational waves”. Although the project description primarily focuses on cosmic gravitational waves and early universe cosmology, candidates familiar with GW observations, as well as cosmology and particle physics in general, are also welcome to apply. Within a five-minute walk of the ITP, there is also the Albert Einstein Institute (AEI) in Hannover, doing leading gravitational wave research. Interactions and collaborations between the two groups are encouraged. The deadline is December…
