The “Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity” (ACR) department at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute, AEI) in Potsdam announces the opening of several postdoctoral appointments, which will be available at different levels, depending on experience and seniority, and can last from 2 to 5 years. We also have openings as part of the ERC-Synergy Grant “Making Sense of the Unexpected in the Gravitational-Wave Sky”, one opening as part of the Simons Collaboration on Black Holes and Strong Gravity, and one opening for a postdoctoral position as part of the Center of Gravity. For the latter, the successful candidate will spend the first two years at the AEI and the subsequent two years at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. The ACR department also offers Max Planck Fellowships to non-German scientists. We are particularly interested in hiring creative and highly motivated candidates who are at ease working both collaboratively and independently in a vibrant, interdisciplinary, and synergistic group.
Candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. The deadline for full consideration is November 25, 2025, including reception of reference letters. The anticipated start date of the positions is Fall 2026. Applications will be considered until all positions are filled.
