POSTDOCTORAL OPEN POSITIONS
Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), Rome, Italy
Deadline: June 19th, 2026
We invite expressions of interest for postdoctoral positions at the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Rome, Italy. The postdoctoral positions will be funded under the Italian Fund for Science (FIS) Starting Grant Eyes-on-GR, whose goal is testing general relativity with multiband gravitational-wave observations.
We are particularly eager to receive expressions of interest from candidates with experience in (i) data analysis with current and next-generation detectors (ii) modeling deviations from general relativity in modified theories of gravity and horizonless compact objects. The postdocs will join the new research group Eyes-on-GR led by Dr. Elisa Maggio at INFN Rome, Italy.
Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago, Chicago, United States
Deadline: Now hiring
The Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago is home to a wide array of fundamental research projects and is involved in many cutting-edge facilities. Postdoctoral scholars play a vital role in advancing departmental research that investigates the biggest questions in astronomy and astrophysics. In addition, the participation of postdocs in the life of the department enriches both the scientific and social fabric of our community and often leads to enduring connections. We offer numerous prize fellowship opportunities for individuals to join our stimulating intellectual community to pursue independent research projects.
Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute, AEI) Potsdam, Germany
Deadline: Now hiring
The “Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity” (ACR) department at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute, AEI) in Potsdam announces the opening of several postdoctoral appointments, which will be available at different levels, depending on experience and seniority, and can last from 2 to 5 years. We also have openings as part of the ERC-Synergy Grant “Making Sense of the Unexpected in the Gravitational-Wave Sky”, one opening as part of the Simons Collaboration on Black Holes and Strong Gravity, and one opening for a postdoctoral position as part of the Center of Gravity. For the latter, the successful candidate will spend the first two years at the AEI and the subsequent two years at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. The ACR department also offers Max Planck Fellowships to non-German scientists. Information on those fellowships and explanations on how to apply are summarized here. We are particularly interested in hiring creative and highly motivated candidates who are at ease working both collaboratively and independently in a vibrant, interdisciplinary, and synergistic group.
