Mentoring and professional development opportunities for the successful applicant will also be available as part of your membership of the OzGrav Centre of Excellence.


The position includes collaboration with our national and international partners, and the opportunity to participate in the at-site and remote commissioning of the aLIGO gravitational wave detectors, and to present your work at national and international conferences.


To be successful you will need:

  • PhD (or thesis submitted) or equivalent experience in the development of gravitational wave detectors or experimental laser physics or optical sensing and/or Python numerical tools.
  • A commitment to research excellence.
