Research Associate/Fellow

This post is full time and has initial funding to March 31^st 2025, with the possibility of being extended.

The School of Physics & Astronomy is looking to recruit a Research Associate/Fellow to make a leading contribution to data analysis development for the LISA gravitational wave observatory ground segment, working with Prof. Graham Woan within the LISA L01 and SIM Coordination Units. This job requires expert knowledge of Time Delay Interferometry and associated fields. The successful candidate will be required to contribute to the methods and code used to mitigate noise sources present in Level 0.5 LISA gravitational wave data, the production of Level 1 data suitable for source parameter estimation, and the simulation of the LISA instrument. The successful candidate will also be involved in the submission of research publications and reports, as well as make a significant contribution to the management and direction of this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.

For appointment at Grade 8, the candidate is expected to perform the above duties with a higher degree of independence, leadership and responsibility, particularly in relation to planning, funding, collaborating and publishing research, and mentoring colleagues, establish and sustain a track record of independent and joint published research to establish and maintain your expert reputation in the subject area and develop/implement a suitable research strategy.

Informal enquiries about the role are welcomed, and should be addressed to Prof. Graham Woan (Graham.Woan@glasgow.ac.uk) in the first instance.
