**About IFAE**:
The Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE) is a public consortium of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Autonomous Government of Catalonia, and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB, a public university) whose main objective is to carry out research and to contribute to the development of high energy physics from a theoretical, experimental and technological point of view. IFAE has the status of a “University Institute" attached to the UAB and its premises are within the campus of the University.

**About LIGO-Virgo Group**:
The detection of GWs from a black hole binary merger by LIGO in 2015 started a new era in the exploration of the universe. The addition of the Virgo antenna into the network led in 2017 to the detection of a neutron star binary merger that could be followed in electromagnetic signals, representing the beginning of multi-messenger astronomy. At the moment, LIGO and Virgo observation plans extend until 2030 with upgraded detectors. At the same time, work is beginning on the development of the third generation of detectors which will offer an order of magnitude increase in sensitivity.

The ET project, a third-generation experiment to be carried out in Europe, has been included in the 2021 EU ESFRI roadmap and has recently entered into the preparatory phase. CE is the planned US contribution to the third-generation GW network, with significant funding from the US NSF and the UK’s STFC for design studies.

IFAE is a member institution of the LVK collaboration. A group of researchers from IFAE has taken significant responsibilities in the Virgo experiment related to the control of the stray light inside the experiment, which is considered a limiting factor for its sensitivity. The group plays an important role in the commissioning, operations and upgrade of the LIGO and Virgo interferometers. For the latter, IFAE is leading the construction of new baffles instrumented with photo sensors close to the test masses.

IFAE is actively participating in ET, coordinates the EU Horizon INFRA-DEV project for the ET preparatory phase, and has central responsibilities in the design of the stray light control systems. In addition, IFAE is deeply involved in the detector R&D and optical simulation activities of ET and CE. IFAE works with CERN in the design of the ET vacuum pipes.

**Required skills and evaluation criteria**:

- PhD on Gravitational Waves Physics
- Internationally recognized experience on research using the LIGO-Virgo data
- Good computing skills in python and good communication skills in English.
- Proven experience in Gravitational Wave physics and related technologies.
- Research records and international visibility: 30 points
- Computing and Technical Skills: 30 points
- Experience on physics analysis: 30 points
- Communication skills and team work: 10 points

**Offered contract**:

- Full-time contract (40 h/week)
- Duration: 2 years
- Contract: Indefinido Actividades Científico Técnicas
- The position will correspond to a postdoctoral researcher.
- Salary will be proportional to experience and qualifications within the corresponding category range.
- Work with interesting experimental science. Opportunity to gain first-hand learning experience. Personal growth, innovation and learning every day.
