Overview
We are looking for a researcher, whose expertise lies in gravitational waves. They will be expected to conduct research on perturbative or nonperturbative waveform modelling, with applications to data analysis, and contribute to the objectives of the STFC Gravitational Wave Consolidated Grant "Precision Gravity With LIGO-Virgo-Karga" (PI: T Sotiriou, Co-Is: M Bezares, S Green, L Sberna) and/or the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship "AI-Driven Inference for Gravitational Waves: Accelerating Discoveries in Fundamental Physics" (PI: S Green). You will be able to carry out duties to the highest standard and to evidence how through your experience you will:
Responsibilities
* Undertake original research of international excellence.
* Develop research objectives and proposals for own and/or collaborative research area.
* Prepare papers for publication in leading journals and/or contribute to the dissemination at national/international conferences, workshops and meetings resulting in successful research outputs.
* Identify opportunities and assist in writing bids for research grant applications. Prepare proposals and applications to both external and/or internal bodies for funding, contractual or accreditation purposes.
Qualifications
* A PhD, or equivalent, in physics, mathematics, or a closely related discipline. Candidates may be near completion but must have their PhD awarded prior to starting the post.
* Expert knowledge of gravitation. This should include one or more of the following: gravitational-wave modelling or data analysis, black hole perturbations, mathematical or numerical relativity.
* Excellent communication and organisational skills.
* The ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary and multicultural team.
* Networking, actively engaging with and valuing other areas and diverse groups.
