The Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC, Valencia), a joint Universitat de València–CSIC research centre, and the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC, Bellaterra, Barcelona), invite applications for a PhD opportunity in gravitational-wave astronomy, with a focus on next-generation detectors such as LISA, Einstein Telescope, and Cosmic Explorer. Application deadline: July 19th 2026.
The project will focus on the development and application of advanced data-analysis techniques for gravitational-wave science, including machine learning and deep learning methods, classical and quantum computing approaches, and global-fit techniques for complex astrophysical signals. Research activities will be carried out jointly between the Universitat de València and the Institute of Space Sciences, with collaborations involving the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
We welcome applications from candidates with backgrounds in physics, astrophysics, cosmology, data science, computer science, or related disciplines. Experience in scientific programming, machine learning, statistics, or gravitational-wave physics will be particularly welcome.
Interested candidates should submit a CV, a short statement of research interests, academic transcripts, and the names and contact details of two referees.
