At least once a year, sometime in the late part of the autumn, the numerical relativity group announces openings for postdoctoral positions, encouraging applications from all areas of numerical relativity and at all levels. Particularly appreciated are those applicants who cross the domains of different research groups within the AEI, e.g., those who can work in related areas of mathematical and astrophysical relativity, combining strong analytical and numerical skills. The positions are advertised on several job bulletins (e.g., AAS, tiptop, etc.) and a local copy can be found here.
The Astrophysical Relativity Division of the Albert Einstein Institute (Max-Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics) in Potsdam (Germany) seeks a creative individual with experience in both scientific research and information technology (IT) to fill a new hybrid research/IT position within the Institute. While great flexibility is left in the vision of the position, which the candidate will also help define, the successful applicant is expected to assist the scientists in their computational efforts to model sources of gravitational waves. On a case-by-case basis, the successful applicant may also negotiate a fraction of his/her time for use in independent research. The position is initially for 5 years, but it could be extended to longer periods and may eventually become permanent. The salary will be a very competitive one within the German scientific system and could include additional allowances if the candidate also manages a small group. Applications should be submitted by Dec. 31st 2009 and the search will continue until a suitable candidate is found. More information can be found here.
PhD fellowships can be obtained within the "International Max Planck Research School" (IMPRS) on Gravitational Wave Astronomy is a collaboration between the AEI at Potsdam and Hannover, the University of Hannover and the Laser Centre Hannover. The IMPRS aims at educating a new generation of researchers in the emerging field of gravitational wave astronomy. The education provided in this IMPRS will cover the complete scope of the field from classical interferometry on the ground and in space, over to advanced and nonclassical interferometry, source modelling and data analysis. The IMPRS calls for applications twice a year, usually at the beginning of the year and after the summer. More information on the IMPRS as well as on the next call for applications can be found here. For additional information, please contact Prof. L. Rezzolla
