The Cardiff University Gravity Exploration Institute is seeking applications to fill the position of Research Associate in gravitational-wave astronomy. One position is available at the Grade 6 level for two years.

Cardiff has a long history of involvement in ground-based gravitational-wave physics, particularly in source modelling, data analysis, and astrophysical and cosmological interpretations (Fabio Antonini, Stephen Fairhurst, Mark Hannam, Vivien Raymond, Isobel Romero-Shaw, Patrick Sutton), instrument design and commissioning (Katherine Dooley, Hartmut Grote, Keiko Kokeyama), electromagnetic follow-up of gravitational-wave events (Cosimo Inserra), and education and public outreach (Chris North).


The successful candidate will contribute to one or more of our research areas in numerical relativity, source modelling, gravitational-wave data analysis, and astrophysical population inference.<...
