About the opportunity

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Researcher in Multi-wavelength Studies of Gravitational Wave Events to work in the OzGrav Centre of Excellence. The successful candidate will work with the OzGrav team on multiwavelength follow-up of gravitatational wave events and other transient radio sources. 

Your key responsibilities will be to:

• investigate gravitational wave events by studying their radio and multi-wavelength properties
• contribute to multi-wavelength follow-up programs of gravitational wave events and radio transients
• help develop models of the host galaxies and likely progenitors of these transient events
• publish original work in high quality journals
• co-supervise students at the undergraduate and postgraduate level
• develop your research profile through conferences and seminars

The ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) was established in 2017 to use the historic first detections of gravitational waves to understand the extreme physics of black holes and warped space time. These discoveries will inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers to make use of this new window on the universe.

The School of Physics at the University of Sydney is a node of OzGrav, and is the leading School of Physics in the country, with outstanding staff and students undertaking world-leading teaching and research. Our 114 academic staff and 157 postgraduate students conduct research across a vast range of interests from nanoparticles to clusters of galaxies and from theoretical modelling to laboratory experiments. With the support of 20+ professional, technical and administrative staff, the School of Physics teaches to a cohort of approximately 274 equivalent full-time student load (EFTSL) undergraduate students. With access to supercomputers, modern laboratory facilities and observatories, locally, nationally and internationally, the School of Physics is the premier environment for physics education and research. The School of Physics is committed to creating a diverse workplace by improving equity, access and opportunity. We want to create an environment where individuality is welcomed and celebrated. We are continuously working to identify and remove biases and barriers in an effort to make our workplace open, supportive and safe for everyone.
