We offer 3 postdoctoral positions in the field of infrasound and seismic instrumentation for gravitational wave detectors and experimental particle astrophysics at the Particle Astrophysics Technology Centre (Astrocent) implemented at the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center as part of the International Research Agendas programme of the Foundation for Polish Science, supported by the European Funds for a Modern Economy. The main focus of Astrocent is to conduct research in science and technology in the areas of particle astrophysics that deal with exploring the hidden Universe.
The detection of gravitational waves below 30 Hz is critically limited by seismic and Newtonian gravity noises, as well as acoustic disturbances in the infrasound band. The positions focus on developing, characterizing, and deploying next-generation infrasound and seismic sensors to characterize and suppress these environmental disturbances. We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar position in the field of low-frequency environmental noise mitigation for advanced gravitational wave detectors. The group is active in Virgo and Einstein Telescope collaborations, and with a network of industrial partners explores industrial and commercial applications of technologies developed in that context.
