03.04.2024 Postdoctoral fellow in gravitational wave data analysis and noise mitigation for LISA at University of British Columbia The University of British Columbia invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow position in gravitational wave astronomy to contribute to the LISA mission. LISA, recently adopted by the European Space Agency for an expected launch in the mid-2030s, is a space-based gravitational wave observatory optimized for detecting gravitational wave signals in the millihertz frequency range. The successful applicant will develop and test analysis methods to identify and remove transient noise from LISA data as well as methods for finding and fitting novel transient gravitational wave signals such as bursts from highly eccentric hierarchical…

14.03.2024 Postdoctoral positions in the Theoretical Astrophysics group at the University of Potsdam The Theoretical Astrophysics group at the University of Potsdam (led by Tim Dietrich) is opening up to two postdoctoral positions. The group has strong ties to the Max Planck Fellow group “Multi-messenger Astrophysics of Compact Binaries”, as well as the “Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity” and “Computational Relativistic Astrophysics” divisions at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics. We work on a variety of research fields, among others, numerical-relativity simulations, gravitational-wave modeling, the modeling of electromagnetic signatures connected to binary neutron star and black hole-neutron star mergers, as well as multi-messenger astrophysics and its connection to nuclear physics.…

13.03.2024 Postdoctoral Fellow – Center for Gravitational Waves and Cosmology at West Virginia University The Center for Gravitational Waves and Cosmology (GWAC) at West Virginia University invites applications for the GWAC Postdoctoral Fellowship. The postdoctoral fellow will carry out a research program that is synergistic with current research activities in the Center, which include theoretical and/or observational studies of compact objects, the interstellar medium, general relativity, gravitational waves, radio transients, and galaxy formation and evolution.
