Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research fellowship in the Department of Physics at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
The successful candidate will work under the supervision of faculty member Alvin Chua, and will contribute to a Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE)-funded research programme on the scientific modelling and analysis of asymmetric-mass binariesas sources for next-generation gravitational-wave observatories.
We seek applicants with a strong background in source modelling and/or data analysis for gravitational-wave astronomy. Applicants with expertise in the modelling and analysis of asymmetric-mass binaries for future space-based detectors such as LISA are particularly encouraged to apply.
The ideal candidate for this position will possess skills and interests in both theoretical and computational research, a willingness to diversify their expertise and to be involved in cross-disciplinary projects, as well as the disposition to work well independently and as part of a team. The successful candidate will also be expected to take up (or retain) membership in the international LISA Consortium, and to be formally involved in its activities.
The initial appointment is for one year, with expected renewal up to two or three years in total, and could start as early as March 2027. This position comes with a competitive salary and personal benefits, as well as travel support for international conferences/visits. There will also be opportunities for the successful candidate to gain additional experience in supervising research students during their appointment.
