Applications are invited for a research assistant position in Gravitational-Wave Theory and Numerical Relativity at the Theoretical Physics Institute (TPI) of Friedrich Schiller University Jena (FSU Jena), Germany.

The position is associated with the research group of Prof. Sebastiano Bernuzzi and funded by FSU Jena. The group pursues a broad and internationally recognized research programme in gravitational-wave astronomy, numerical relativity, and relativistic astrophysics. The Jena group is actively involved in major international collaborations, including the Einstein Telescope, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), and the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration. The group is also a member of the Computational Relativity Collaboration (CoRe).

The successful candidate is expected to conduct original research in one or more of the group’s core areas and to contribute actively to i...
