The GRAVITY group at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) invites expressions of interest from strong candidates we could support for competitive fellowships at various levels: junior postdocs, senior postdocs and tenure track. Note that the deadlines are imminent and we require quick responses by November 14 for full consideration. We are also offering a one-year postdoctoral position, with the possibility of extension or to apply for one of these grants in parallel or afterwards, and a deadline of December 8. Our research spans a broad spectrum of topics, including gravitational-wave data analysis, waveform modeling, and numerical relativity. We are particularly interested in applicants whose work will contribute directly to central data analysis deliverables of LIGO, LISA, or the Einstein Telescope.

The “Ramon y Cajal” and “Juan de la Cierva” programmes are Spanish national grants, while the “Vicenc Mut” fellowships are awarded by the Balearic Islands regional government. Applications can be prepared in English, but support from a local faculty member is required and sufficient time is needed for the administrative intricacies. Therefore, please send us your CV, publication list and a short statement of research interests by November 14 for full consideration. All other material can then be prepared within the official deadlines. Please send your materials to gravity.uib.contact[AT]gmail.com and also do not hesitate to reach out first with informal queries.

In addition, we are offering one postdoctoral position with an initial 1-year contract starting in March 2026 or later, with the possibility of extension depending on funding availability or to apply for one of the mentioned fellowships in this or the next round, following the more detailed application guidelines below.
