ERC-funded PhD position in multi-messenger astrophysics with neutron star mergers at the University of Jena

Aug 16, 2023

The position is associated with the research group of Prof. Sebastiano Bernuzzi at the TPI and it is funded by the European Research Council consolidator grant 101043372 'InspiReM ' of the Horizon programme. The successful researcher is expected to work on the topic of binary neutron star mergers with focus on numerical relativity, gravitational waves, theoretical astrophysics, or multi-messenger data analysis. Candidates with background in these areas are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications should be received by October 31st, 2023 .

Your responsibilities:

• Work on your own scientific qualification project
• Teaching for two hours per week during the semester

Your profile:

• Master's degree in Physics, Mathematics, or Computer Science
• Applicants with a background in numerical relativity, theoretical and computational astrophysics, gravitational-wave modeling or multi-messenger data analysis are especially encouraged to apply

Offer:

• Participation in an excellent international, multi-disciplinary research team
• Possibility to join international networks and collaborations (LIGO-Virgo, LISA, Einstein Telescope, CoRe)
• Remuneration based on the provisions of the Collective Agreement for the Public Sector of the Federal States (TV-L) at salary scale E13, including a special annual payment in accordance with the collective agreement
• A comprehensive education programme and individual qualification and development measures
• A Graduate Academy for doctoral candidates and postdocs
• A family-friendly working environment with a variety of offers for families: University Family Office 'JUniFamilie' and flexible childcare ('JUniKinder)

Severely handicapped people are given preference for equal qualifications, aptitude and professional qualifications. Friedrich-Schiller University Jena is committed to increase the percentage of female scientists and therefore especially encourages them to apply.

Applications should be received by October 31st, 2023, but will be considered until the positions are filled. The tentative starting date of the project is April 1st, 2024. The appointment is for three years.
