JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:

The PAX Group at the Penn State Department of Physics Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics and the Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos has two postdoctoral positions in the general area of gravitationalwave data analysis and science.

The postdoctoral positions are funded in parts by the National Science Foundation and the Eberly College of Science at Penn State. They are focused on harnessing gravitationalwave data from LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory) Virgo and KAGRA observatories to address problems in fundamental physics cosmology and astrophysics. The postdoctoral scholars will have the opportunity to work on one or more of several topics of interest to the PAX group but we also look forward to new skills and expertise that postdoctoral fellows bring to Penn State. These include but not limited to analytical modelling of waveforms from binary neutron star and black hole mergers and exploiting gravitational waves to infer the dense matter equation of state measure cosmological parameters understand the effect of dark matter in neutron star cores and explore formation channels of compact binary systems. The postdoctoral scholars will also work on the science metrics for evaluating the performance of the next generation of gravitational wave observatories such as the Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope for different design choices.

Education and Experience

Candidates should have a recent Ph.D. in theoretical physics astrophysics or a closely related area and the ability to work productively within a diverse and collaborative research environment producing and publishing original research and presenting that research effectively in collaboration meetings seminars and scientific meetings.
