Type of contract
1+1-year fellowship funded by EGO
Description
The post-doc is expected to play a leading role in two activities:
* The search for GW signals emitted by compact coalescing binary systems, within the joint CBC group of the Virgo and LIGO collaboration. This includes contributing to the analysis of data being currently collected as well as preparing the analysis of future science runs with advanced detectors.
* The calibration of the Virgo detector and the GW strain reconstruction. This includes participating to calibration campaigns during the current science run, improving the strain reconstruction procedure as well as preparing the calibration of the upgraded detector Advanced Virgo.
Requirements
Position suitable for PhD holders in Physics.
Experience in data analysis of experiments in the field of gravitational waves, high energy physics, astroparticle physics or astrophysics is required.
Knowledge of gravitational wave physics will be appreciated.
