PhD fellowships are now open for application in the national PhD school "Space Science and Technology", in particular 5 fellowships in the newly created "gravity" curriculum in which a number of Italian LISA colleagues are involved. There are exciting possibilities for both data analysis (3 fellowships) and experimental (2 fellowships) focused research, and 4 of the 5 fellowships are directly dedicated to LISA (a 5th regards application of LISA GRS technology to geodesy). The deadline for application is 16 July.
The specific fellowships of interest to the LISA community are:
- (8A) The “global fit” challenge in the data analysis of the space mission LISA (University of Milano Bicocca, contact Monica Colpi)
- (8B) Development of algorithms for low-latency observations of mergers of massive black holes with the LISA space mission (University of Milano Bicocca, Massimo Dotti)
- (8C) Multi-sensor analysis of the data stream from terrestrial and space (LISA) gravitational wave observatories (University of Pisa, Walter Del Pozzo)
- (8D) From the LISA Pathfinder mission to the LISA observatory for gravitational waves at mHz frequencies: measurements of the fundamental limits for free-falling masses (University of Trento, William Joseph Weber)
- (8E) Design, analysis, and testing of a gravitational reference test mass system for geodesy (University of Trento, William Joseph Weber)
Students will enter a network with some of the top groups collaborating in gravitational waves and in space science in Italy. The fellowships foresee a period abroad (6 months). Please do not hesitate to forward this announcement to your colleagues and/or to contact the references for more information on the specific research opportunities.
