Positions in GW lensing at IFT Madrid
We invite applications for PhD and Postdoctoral positions at the Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT UAM–CSIC, Madrid) in the areas of gravitational waves, gravitational lensing, and fundamental physics. Positions are funded by the ERC Consolidator Grant GLOW, CSIC-MAX, and Atracción de Talento programs. Starting date is October 2026 or later. Successful candidates will work with Miguel Zumalacárregui (joining IFT in Summer 2026). Research topics include: Wave-optics phenomena in gravitational lensing, Searches for lensed gravitational waves (data analysis, machine learning…), Gravitational lensing of stars by binary black holes, Tests of dark matter, dark energy and modified gravity. Review of applications will begin on December 15 (Postdoc) / January 10th (PhD) and continue until the positions are filled.
