10.04.2025 2 Post-doc positions in Large Scale Structure Rubin/LSST survey and 3rd generation GW detectors at IFT Sao Paulo Applications are open for two postdoctoral positions to work on multi-messenger science, with focus on the exploitation of data from the Vera Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and 3rd generation GW observatories (Einstein Telescope/Cosmic Explorer). Combining galaxies, quasars and other sources detected with the LSST, with mergers of compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) detected by present and future facilities, represents a new frontier for connecting cosmology and fundamental physics. The synergies between maps of electromagnetic sources and gravitational wave sources offer new opportunities for probes of…
