The Gravitational Physics Group at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) invites applications for multiple postdoctoral positions in gravitational wave physics. Our research spans a broad spectrum of topics, including gravitational wave data analysis, waveform modeling, and numerical relativity.
About the Group:
The group is led by PI Alicia Sintes and includes faculty members David Keitel, Xisco Jimenez Forteza, Antoni Ramos Buades, Pep Covers, Jaume Carot, and Sascha Husa (scientific staff at ICE Barcelona and co-PI of research grants at UIB), along with several postdoctoral researchers, PhD students, master’s students, and undergraduates. Additionally, the relativistic astrophysics group at UIB includes faculty members Carlos Palenzuela, Carles Bona, and Fernando Abalos.
We are active members of major international collaborations, including the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC), the LISA mission, and the Einstein Telescope project. For more details, visit our website: http://grg.uib.es.
Position Details:
We seek highly motivated candidates for postdoctoral positions in gravitational wave physics, with research areas including but not limited to:
– Gravitational wave data analysis
– Modeling of gravitational wave sources
– Multimessenger astrophysics
We are particularly interested in applicants whose work will contribute directly to the LSC, LISA mission, or Einstein Telescope.
– Start Date: September 2025
– Duration: Initial appointment of 1 year, with the possibility of renewal for a second and potentially a third year, subject to satisfactory progress.
Application Process:
Applicants should submit a single PDF file containing:
– Cover letter
– Curriculum vitae
