The Institute for Gravitational Wave Astronomy at the University of Birmingham, UK, is inviting applications for two postdoctoral research fellowships to work on the science case for the next generation of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors.
Position 1:
We are seeking to appoint one postdoctoral fellow to work on science aspects of compact binaries relevant for next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave detector networks. The fellow will focus on exploring the ability to characterise the properties of the populations of black holes and neutron stars. This position is initially available for 2 years with the opportunity to extend based on performance and availability of funds.

Position 2:
We are also looking to appoint one postdoctoral research fellow to work on creating innovative computational algorithms to efficiently evaluate theoretical models for the gravitational-wave signal emitted by compact binaries. Emphasis will be placed on new artificial intelligence technologies and leveraging GPU acceleration. This position is initially available for 1 year with the opportunity to extend based on performance and availability of funds. For more details and to apply for this position, please visit: https://edzz.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_6001/job/3852/?utm_medium=jobshare
The research fellows’ activities will be part of the broader endeavour of a consortium of British universities for the development of next generation gravitational-wave observatories (such as Cosmic Explorer and the Einstein Telescope), supported by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Infrastructure Fund. The application deadline for both positions is January 28, 2024.
For any queries, please contact Dr Geraint Pratten (G.Pratten[at]bham.ac.uk), Dr Patricia Schmidt (P.Schmidt[at]bham.ac.uk) or Prof Alberto Vecchio (av[at]star.sr.bham.ac.uk).
