Postdoctoral Fellowships in Gravitational-Wave Science at the University of Glasgow

4 weeks ago


Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom UNIVERSITAT FRANKFURT Full time

The Institute for Gravitational Research at the University of Glasgow invites applications for postdoctoral fellowships in all aspects of gravitational-wave research. As a host institution, we welcome applications for prestigious opportunities that provide multi-year funding for early career researchers to establish their own independent research programmes.

Fellowships are available in experimental science and instrumentation development, gravitational-wave data analysis, and astrophysics or associated multi-messenger astronomy. Our Institute is one of the world's largest and most diverse gravitational-wave groups, active in major international collaborations such as the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Einstein Telescope Collaboration.

Experimental work is supported by facilities including a new world-class facility for producing ion-beam sputtered optical coatings, and a cryogenic prototype interferometer facility for next-generation gravitational-wave detectors. Data analysis is supported through access to our local high-performance computing clusters.

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 has Institute of Physics Juno Champion and Athena Swan Silver statuses, and the University is a Stonewall Scotland Diversity Champion.
