Barcelona, Barcelona, España IFAE A tiempo completo
About IFAE

IFAE is a public consortium of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, dedicated to research and development in high-energy physics.

About the Position

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our team and contribute to our research in gravitational wave physics. The successful candidate will be involved in detector-related activities, including data characterization, optical simulation studies, and active monitoring of stray light inside the optical cavities.

As a PhD student, you will also be deeply involved in the physics analysis of LIGO-Virgo data, focusing on one or more of the following subjects: LV data characterization, optical simulation studies, or the active monitoring of stray light inside the LV optical cavities.

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to participate in significant training and networking activities, including extended stays at top-level international research centers in Europe and the USA.

Requirements
  • Master's degree in Physics with outstanding university records
  • Basic knowledge of Gravitation
  • Good computing skills in Python and good communication skills in English
  • Previous experience in Gravitational Wave physics and related technologies is appreciated
Offered Contract

We offer a full-time contract (40 h/week) with a predoctoral contract for 4 years. The position will correspond to a PhD student, and the salary will be proportional to experience and qualifications within the corresponding category range.

As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work on interesting experimental science, gain first-hand learning experience, and enjoy personal growth, innovation, and learning every day.

Application and Selection Process

Applicants should have a Master's degree in Physics and provide a motivation letter, a CV, and full university records. They should also arrange for one or two letters of reference to be sent to the contact email addresses provided.

For further information, please contact Prof. Andrew Lundgren or Prof. Mario Martínez.
