The Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS (CTP PAS) invites applications for one 4-year postdoctoral fellowship at the CTP PAS, financed from the project Weave-UNISONO „Lensing of electromagnetic and gravitational waves”, financed by the National Science Center (GA no. UMO-2024/06/Y/ST2/00190). The PI of the project is dr hab. Mikołaj Korzyński. The research will be conducted in collaboration with the group of Dr. Marius Oancea from the University of Vienna. Application deadline: November 1st 2025.
The project aims: investigating
Optical drift effects close to caustics: investigating the effects of lens, observer and source transverse motion in strong gravitational lensing, for objects near caustics
Lensing of gravitational waves by strong gravitational fields: computing lensed gravitational waveforms originating from sources in strong-gravity Environments
Computing the effects of propagation of waves in curved spacetimes beyond
geometric optics using the Wigner function approach.
