Subject: [GREG-L] Postdoc position in GW physics, UIB, Palma, Spain

Dear colleagues,

we are opening the following position for GW data analysis, including ML
applications. Please consider it in your own job hunt or forward to
potentially interested junior colleagues.

Thanks and the usual apologies for multi-channel copies,
David


The gravitational physics group at the University of the Balearic
Islands (UIB) in Palma, Spain, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to
join and extend our efforts in gravitational-wave data analysis. They
will work primarily with Dr. David Keitel towards the first detection
and scientific exploitation of one or both of the following: (i)
gravitationally lensed GWs from compact binaries, (ii) continuous waves
and long-duration transients from spinning neutron stars.
The exact research projects are open to discussion based on the
applicant’s background and interests. Focus should be on short- and
mid-term activities with data from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detectors, but
can also include applications to future detectors such as LISA and the
Einstein Telescope. Previous experience in practical GW data analysis is
preferable, though candidates from related research areas with strong
backgrounds in scientific computing and programming, Bayesian inference
and/or machine learning, and source modelling are also highly welcome to
apply.
The starting day for the contract can be negotiated, but ideally would
be between October 2023 and January 2024. The initial appointment will
be for 1.5 years, with possible extension subject on satisfactory
performance and funding availability.

The GRAVITY research group at UIB is part of the LIGO Scientific
Collaboration, the Einstein Telescope collaboration, and the LISA
consortium. The group also includes two senior LSC members (group PI
Prof. Alicia Sintes and Prof. Sascha Husa), relativity expert Prof.
Jaume Carot, and currently 8 postdocs, 7 PhD students, and 5 master
students active in waveform modelling, numerical relativity and GW data
analysis areas including parameter estimation, tests of GR, lensing,
cosmology, and continuous waves. There are also several more experts on
relativity in the physics department at UIB, and interdisciplinary
collaboration opportunities within the IAC3 institute. The usual
language of scientific work in the group is English. Computing is
carried out using an in-house high-performance computer cluster, and
external resources such as the Mare Nostrum supercomputer or the LIGO
data grid. For further details, see: http://grg.uib.es

Applications should be submitted by 2023-06-30 for full consideration,
but may still be considered until end of July or until the position is
filled. Candidates should hold a PhD, or expect to have it defended by
the start of the appointment. Please send a cover letter, 2-page
research statement, CV, and either PhD certificate or indication of
expected defense date to: david.keitel en uib.es Remote interviews may be
conducted if required. For questions on the scientific scope of the
position or the application procedure, please contact David Keitel in
advance of submitting an application.
