Position Description

We invite applications for Postdoctoral Researchers to work at the interface of general relativity, gravitational wave astrophysics, and dark matter phenomenology within the ERC Advanced Grant “De Tenebris", led by Prof. Gianfranco Bertone. The successful candidates will help advance theory and computational modeling of compact binaries in astrophysical/dark-matter environments, and contribute to the interpretation of current and future gravitational-wave observations. The postdocs will have the opportunity to collaborate with GRAPPA faculty (S. Ando, D. Baumann, G. Bertone, P. Decowski, B. Freivogel, A. Heijboer, S. Markoff, P. Moesta, S. Nissanke, J. Vink, A. Watts, C. Weniger), postdocs, and students, as well as with external partners in the broader GW and dark matter communities.

GRAPPA is the center of excellence in gravitation, astroparticle physics, and cosmology at the University of Amsterdam, located at Amsterdam Science Park, with a lively seminar culture and strong ties to experimental collaborations including gravitational wave interferometers LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA, LISA, and the Einstein Telescope.

The University of Amsterdam is an equal-opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive community and welcome applications from all qualified candidates.
