About the position
Position Description
We are pleased to invite expressions of interest for two postdoctoral positions funded by the SNSF Starting Grant “Towards Precision Astrophysics in the GW Sky”.
The two postdoctoral researchers will join the group of Prof. Giulia Cusin at the Observatory of Geneva (Versoix, Geneva) and will pursue research in the following areas:
(i) Gravitational-wave background forecasts and mapping with PTAs, with a focus on multimessenger approaches and on constraining the properties of the underlying source populations;
(ii) Modelling of environmental and lensing effects, and their impact on GW observations and astrophysical inference.
One of the positions will have a stronger data-analysis focus, while the other will be more modelling-oriented.
We are looking for motivated and dynamic researchers with a strong background in gravitational-wave physics, although researchers from other fields who are motivated and eager to learn will also be considered.
The successful candidates will join a dynamic and friendly research environment at the Observatory of Geneva, with research activities spanning a broad range of topics in astrophysics and cosmology. The Geneva area also hosts a large and active gravitational-wave community, offering ample opportunities for collaboration and interaction across different research groups.
The positions are expected to start in autumn 2027, although earlier or later starting dates can also be considered. One position is for 2 years, the other for 2+1 years.
Applicants should hold a PhD in physics, astronomy, or a related field, or expect to obtain their PhD before the start of the position.
