July 23, Closing Date:Open Position Ramón y Cajal Fellowship Programme – Tenure-Track Position in Gravitational-Wave Physics at IFAEOpening Date:July 23, Closing Date:Until FilledCall for Expressions of InterestRamón y Cajal Fellowship Programme – Tenure-Track Position in Gravitational-Wave Physics at IFAEThe Institut de Física d'Altes Energies (IFAE) in Barcelona, a Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence, invites expressions of interest from candidates wishing to apply to the Ramón y Cajal (Ry C) Programme in the field of Gravitational-Wave (GW) Physics.The Ry C Programme aims to attract outstanding postdoctoral researchers to the Spanish science, technology, and innovation system through five-year contracts.
In the call, Ry C fellows will receive the resources needed to lead their own research programmes, thereby establishing a clear pathway towards permanent integration into the Spanish research system.
Demonstrated potential to secure competitive research funding, particularly through European Research Council (ERC) grants,



is considered an important asset for successful Ry C applicants.IFAE is seeking candidates with a demonstrated track record of research excellence and leadership in ground-based interferometric gravitational-wave detector technology.
The successful candidate is expected to play a leading role in defining and developing IFAE's experimental programme, contributing to the operation and upgrade of the LIGO and Virgo detectors and to the research and development roadmap for the Einstein Telescope.At IFAE, Ry C fellows are appointed under a tenure-track faculty scheme and receive additional strategic institutional research funding beyond that provided by the Ry C Programme, as well as a salary supplement.
Subject to a positive evaluation, the successful candidate will be offered a permanent research faculty position upon successful completion of the Ry C fellowship.
