The Relativity Group at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University College Dublin, is seeking to recruit a postdoctoral research fellow (Level 1) to work with Dr Christiana Pantelidou. The appointment is for 2 years, starting in September 2023, and is funded by the Royal Society – Science Foundation Ireland research grant “Gravitational turbulence in the era of gravitational waves”.
The successful candidate will work on non-linear effects in the strong-field regime of gravity in both asymptotically Anti-de-Sitter and asymptotically flat spacetimes, including but not limited to gravitational turbulence, and will explore potential observational implications of these phenomena on gravitational wave signals. Candidates should have demonstrated experience in gravitational physics and related computational and numerical skills.
