Dear colleagues,
we would like to bring to you attention the possibility of pursuing a PhD in gravitational wave physics at the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC) in Barcelona [see a description below] through the:
Doctoral INPhINIT Incoming fellowship program of the LaCaixa Foundation
Candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Spain for more than twelve months in the three years immediately preceding the closing date of the call.
The ICE-CSIC, as a research centre accredited with the Spanish Seal of Excellence Maria de Maeztu will support applications of interested candidates to work in any aspect of gravitational wave astronomy, from instrumentation to theory. ICE members participate in LISA, LVK, and ET.
Deadline: 23 January 2025, at 2 pm CET
Contact: Carlos F. Sopuerta (carlos.f.sopuerta[AT]csic.es), Sascha Husa (sascha.husa[AT]csic.es), Miquel Nofrarias (nofrarias[AT]ice.csic.es)

The Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC) is part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and is affiliated with the Institut d’Estudis Espacials de Catalunya (IEEC). Officially created in 2008, ICE engages in theoretical and observational research across disciplines, including fundamental physics, astrophysics, planetary and Earth sciences. The institute also develops theoretical models, as well as instrumentation and technology for space and ground-based missions and experiments. ICE has about 120 members, two departments (Astrophysics and Planetary Sciences, and Cosmology and Fundamental Physics) and an Advanced Engineering Unit running 7 laboratories. The Institute has obtained the Maria de Maeztu seal of excellence, awarded by the Spanish State Research Agency for the period 2022 – 2025.
ICE has significant involvement in more than a dozen space missions, in particular LISA, Euclid, as well as ground-based experiments like CTA, DES, DESI, ET.
ICE is located in a modern building on the Campus of the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in Bellaterra, just outside Barcelona.
