One PhD position in Relativistic Astrophysics and Gravitational-Wave Physics, Valencia, Spain

The Relativistic Astrophysics Group at the University of Valencia (Spain) invites applications for one 4-year PhD position in the topic of gravitational-wave physics in theories beyond general relativity. This position is linked to the research project “Computational relativistic astrophysics and data analysis in the era of gravitational-wave astronomy” (PID2024-159689NB-C21) of the Spanish Research Agency. The position entails research work on modelling of astrophysical sources of gravitational waves, numerical relativity, and data analysis.

We are seeking a highly motivated candidate interested in strong field modifications of general relativity and their test through astrophysical observations of compact objects. The candidate will conduct gravitational-wave source modelling in such theories, with these three main goals: (1) Find new qualitative features in gravitational-wave signals and electromagn...
