The Centre for Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) invites applications for a fixed-term postdoctoral position in gravitational physics, starting as soon as possible and ending June 30, 2029.

The position is in the framework of the Cluster of Excellence “Quantum Frontiers”. Within this cluster, we develop advanced tests of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, addressing both astrophysical approaches and quantum-physical aspects. We collaborate with the Institute of Geodesy, Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), on research using Lunar Laser Ranging and the Institute of Quantum Optics, LUH, on experiments involving atom interferometry.

The successful candidate will join ZARM’s Gravitational Theory Group, led by Eva Hackmann, focusing on theoretical investigations of astrophysical tests in strong gravity regimes and/or high-precision experiments on or near Earth. She/...
