Postdoctoral Positions in Gravitational-Wave Science
Astrophysics, Computational Physics and postdoctoral position at Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics
Apply by Monday, Nov 23
About
The Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity department offers junior and senior postdoctoral appointments lasting two to five years. Research connects analytical strong-gravity modelling, numerical relativity and gravitational-wave observations, including LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA and future detectors. Themes include waveform generation, accelerated inference, compact-object astrophysics, cosmography and tests of gravity. Expected start is autumn 2027; 23 November is the full-consideration deadline, with later applications considered until positions are filled.
Requirements
Submit a cover letter, CV, publications and a research statement of no more than three pages excluding references. Three reference letters must arrive by the full-consideration deadline.
