The Center for Gravitational Physics (CGP) within the Weinberg Institute at the University of Texas at Austin invites applicants for multiple Weinberg Institute Postdoctoral Fellowships. These are full-time postdoctoral positions starting in September 2026.
This position is open to candidates in gravitational-wave physics, astrophysics and data analysis, especially in (but not limited to) the areas of:
(1) Cosmological inference with gravitational-wave observations
(2) Applications of AI/ML techniques broadly to astrophysics, cosmology or gravitational wave data analysis
(3) Nuclear astrophysics with gravitational-wave observations
(4) Gravitational-wave multimessenger astrophysics
(5) Numerical simulations of compact binaries
Applicants must submit a cover letter (no more than 1 page), CV, list of publications, a short statement of research interests (no more than 3 pages in length) and arrange to have at least three letters of reference uploaded to AJO. Applications are due November 21, 2025. The completion of a PhD is required prior to the beginning of this appointment. The initial appointment is for two years, with the possibility of extension to a third year subject to available funding and research performance.
Inquiries may be sent to Profs. Hsin-Yu Chen (hsinyu(at)austin.utexas.edu) or Jay Wadekar (jay.wadekar(at)utexas.edu).
