25.02.2025 PhD opportunity at APC on instrumentation and performance modeling The APC is looking for a PhD student, co-funded by CNES and IN2P3, starting in fall 2025 and working on instrumentation and performance modeling. The main objectives of this thesis will be to prepare, participate and analyse the experimental data collected during the IDS test campaign in France. The PhD student will also work closely with the teams in charge of performance modeling and prediction (both on ground and in flight), in order to improve the instrumental model of LISA and feed it with experimental characterizations. Application deadline: March 14th 2025. Read more

25.02.2025 PhD and postdoc position for Einstein Telescope and industry at Nikhef The national institute for subatomic physics Nikhef (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) welcomes applications for a PhD and Postdoctoral position. Both positions regard instrumentation research activities in inertial sensing and/or vibration isolation for Einstein Telescope and industry in collaboration with other Dutch universities, research institutes and industry. While the deadline for application is set to Wednesday 9 April 2025 18:00 CEST, both positions can be filled earlier in case a good candidate is found.

25.02.2025 Postdoctoral positions in Computational Relativistic Astrophysics division at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam The “Computational Relativistic Astrophysics” division at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (the Albert Einstein Institute) in Potsdam led by Masaru Shibata (director) announces the opening of postdoc appointments.

19.02.2025 Postdoctoral position in Strong Gravitational Lensing of Gravitational Waves in Groningen Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Position at the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute, University of Groningen, in the Netherlands. The successful candidate will work on galaxy-scale strong lensing of gravitational wave events from black hole mergers. The project focuses on simulating, modelling, forecasting, and astrophysically interpreting strongly lensed gravitational wave events for the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) detector network. It also aims to identify lens systems in optical/infrared surveys (e.g., Euclid) or radio surveys (e.g., SKA). The postdoc will collaborate closely with Prof. van den Broeck’s group at GRASP in Utrecht and Prof. Hannuksela’s group at CUHK, both of whom…

19.02.2025 Postdoctoral position on multiwavelength millisecond pulsar searches at IPAC, Grenoble We are opening a 2-yr Postdoc position at IPAG, Grenoble, France, starting ideally in Fall 2025 (earlier/later date possible). Application selection will be carried out starting on March 17th, 2025, until the position is filled. We expect the successful candidate to study the population of millisecond pulsars towards the inner regions of our Galaxy, and the multi-wavelength properties of these objects from radio to high-energy gamma rays. This work will include the analysis and interpretation of timing radio data. Read more

19.02.2025 PhD position in ARTEMIS lab at OCA We are looking for a PhD student who will be co-financed by CNES (the French Space Agency), starting in the fall of 2025. The ultimate objective of this PhD project is to develop a way to infer the model of the Galaxy from the population of galactic binaries detected by LISA (More detailed description of the project can be found in the application link). Applications should be submitted through the CNES online system, and the deadline is March 14th. Read more
