Fellowship Applications at University of Southampton

The Gravity group and the String Theory and Holography group of the school of Mathematical Sciences are accepting expressions of interest from early-career researchers who wish to apply for following fellowships with the University of Southampton as the host institution:

The Gravity group works on theory modelling, numerical simulations and data analysis for gravitational-wave astronomy. The main focus is on the dynamics of neutron stars and black holes, with direct connections to current ground-based interferometers, next-generation instruments (Cosmic Explorer and the Einstein Telescope) and LISA. Permanent group members are Nils Andersson, Leor Barack, Carsten Gundlach, Ian Jones, Ian Hawke, Adam Pound, Andreas Schmitt and Jonathan Thompson.

The String Theory and Holography group works on string theory; quantum field theory; holographic dualities and applications to gravity, black holes, cosmology, particle physics, condensed matter and quantum information and the permanent members of group are Ines Aniceto, Oscar Dias, Fridrik Gautason, Felix Haehl, Carlos Mafra, Kostas Skenderis, David Turton, Ben Withers,Itamar Yaakov and Ida Zadeh.

The University of Southampton also hosts the STAG Research Centre , which supports the coordinated activities with the theoretical physics and astronomy groups in the school of Physics & Astronomy.
