We are inviting applications for one PhD position in gravitational-wave cosmology and AI-driven data analysis to join the research group of Dr. Christoph Weniger at the University of Amsterdam, within the GRAPPA Center of Excellence. GRAPPA is an internationally recognized research hub in gravitation, astroparticle physics, and cosmology, with strong involvement in the LISA mission and broad expertise in gravitational waves, cosmology, and modern data-analysis methods.

The PhD project is centered on the analysis of data from the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and aims to develop advanced, AI-driven inference methods for next-generation gravitational-wave astronomy. Key scientific challenges include the global inference of large populations of overlapping gravitational-wave sources and stochastic backgrounds, and the extraction of cosmological and fundamental-physics information from L...
