Postdoctoral position in gravitational physics at the University of Mississippi, USA
The gravity group at the University of Mississippi invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in gravitational physics, with a focus on gravitational-wave modeling for LISA. The position is for two years, with potential for renewal for a third year contingent on performance and availability of funding. A PhD in physics/mathematics/astronomy is required by the time of the initial appointment. The successful applicants will also develop and advance an independent research program, collaborate with UMiss gravity group faculty on their research, and help to train UMiss students. UMiss is a member of the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes (SXS) collaboration, the LISA consortium, and the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC), and will thus provide ample opportunities to collaborate with other SXS, LISA, and LSC member institutions. The nominal starting date for the positions is Sep. 1, 2026, but is flexible. Applicants should submit an application by sending an email to grpostdoc[at]phy.olemiss.edu. Review of applications will begin Jan. 5, 2026 and will continue until the positions are filled.
