Research Associate Searching for high-frequency gravitational waves at University of Hamburg
The successful candidate will be strongly engaged in the experimental work in our Astroparticle Physics group which is part of the Cluster of Excellence “Quantum Universe”. A new experiment to search for MHz gravitational waves is currently in the prototype stage. You will be driving the design and optimization of the RF detector that will be operated inside a 14 T solenoid to search for both transient and stochastic gravitational waves. Your main contributions will be the installation and commissioning of the first detector design, reduction of noise contributions and running a matched-template search on real-time data for a first-science data run. Application deadline: August 18th, 2025.
