Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom UNIVERSITAT FRANKFURT Full time

The Institute for Gravitational Research at the University of Glasgow invites applications for postdoctoral research fellowships in all aspects of gravitational-wave research. The institute is one of the world's largest and most diverse gravitational-wave groups, actively engaged in major international collaborations such as the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Einstein Telescope Collaboration.

Fellowships provide multi-year funding for early career researchers to establish their own independent research programmes. The University of Glasgow also offers the Lord Kelvin/Adam Smith Fellowship, which provides additional funds for successful applicants. To strengthen applications, all fellowship applications undergo internal review, and applicants are provided with mentorship.

The institute offers access to state-of-the-art facilities, including a new cryogenic prototype interferometer facility for next-generation gravitational-wave detectors and a local high-performance computing cluster for data analysis. All postdoctoral fellows have access to training and career development opportunities through the University's Early Career Development Programme.

The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow has Institute of Physics Juno Champion and Athena Swan Silver statuses, and the University is a Stonewall Scotland Diversity Champion. This creates a welcoming and inclusive environment for researchers from diverse backgrounds.
