Postdoc Gravitational Physics Research Group

at  ETH Zrich

JOB DESCRIPTION

You will work within the Gravitational Physics group at ETH Zurich and contribute to our LISA effort, our NANOGrav effort, or both:

• For LISA, you will join in the formulation, development, and testing of novel algorithms and mathematical techniques for the LISA global-fit problem, and for the integration of global-fit products into source catalogs. You will interact with researchers and engineers in the Swiss LISA Data Center and in LISA Data Centers across Europe, in the ETH AI Center, and in ETH Zurich | Space. Your contributions will inform the implementation of data-analysis pipelines and other analysis software for LISA, and they will help deliver the scientific results of the mission.
• For NANOGrav, you will contribute to the statistical formulation of pulsar-timing-array searches for gravitational waves; to the development of the Discovery analysis code; and to the analysis of current and future datasets. You will investigate novel techniques to model timing noise and mismodeling bias in the characterization of gravitational waves. You will interact with researchers in the international pulsar-timing-array community and in the ETH AI Center. Your results will help establish very-low-frequency gravitational-wave measurements as a new tool to understand the Universe.

In your research, you will experiment with a range of computational and mathematical techniques, including neural-network-based inference, information-theoretical approaches, and GPU- and AI-based acceleration. You will assist in the supervision of PhD theses and Master student projects. You will participate in outreach opportunities and in teaching at the undergraduate and Master level. You will join a team working on the future of gravitational-wave science through technical development, strategic planning, and attention to the long-term cultural impact of our field.
