Main Responsibilities

The successful applicant will be responsible for:

1. Planning and conducting assigned research individually or jointly in accordance with the project deliverables and project/group/School/College research strategy.

2. Contributing to and extending the IGR's existing programme of research into the demonstration and development of laser stabilisation and cryogenic suspensions systems for use in future gravitational wave detectors.

3. Contributing to the acquisition, commissioning, maintenance and integration of experimental apparatus and experimental systems in the prototype interferometer facility and be the lead researcher on certain experiments.

4. Contributing to the group LIGO Operations activities through training activities of LIGO operators visiting the Group and on-site and remote operations activities of the LIG detectors.

8. Presentation of work at international and national conferences, at internal and external seminars, colloquia, and workshops to develop and enhance our research profile internationally. Participate in internal team/group meetings/seminars/workshops and School research group activities to enhance the wider knowledge, outputs, and culture of the School/College and to foster and enhance a collaborative and inclusive environment.

Requirements

The successful candidate will possess:

A1 Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework SCQF Level 10 [Honours degree] in a relevant subject or a cognate discipline, or equivalent

A2 Specialist theoretical and practical knowledge of laser stabilisation or suspension design and characterisation techniques relevant to gravitational wave detector development

A3 A comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of the wider subject area or subject specialism of laser stabilisation, suspension dynamics and cryogenic materials

A4 Knowledge of specialist IT software (e.g. Matlab, Python, Ansys/COMSOL)

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated researcher with a strong background in gravitational wave detection and a passion for innovative research. If you are a driven and enthusiastic individual who is eager to contribute to cutting-edge research, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
