    Default job background
    Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract
    Description

    This post is full time, and has funding until 31st March 2025.

    The School of Physics & Astronomy is looking for a Research Assistant/Associate/Fellow to contribute/make a leading contribution in the LISA Optical Bench Team at the University of Glasgow

    LISA is a European Space Agency (ESA) led mission to launch a gravitational detector in the mid 2030s. The mission has just been adopted by ESA as a flagship scientific mission in the next decade. The LISA instrument consist of 3 satellites in a triangular configuration with 2.5-million-kilometre arms, moving in an Earth-like orbit around the Sun. Gravitational waves from sources throughout the Universe will produce slight oscillations in the arm lengths (smaller than the diameter of an atom). LISA will capture these motions and thus measure the gravitational waves by using laser links to monitor the displacements of test masses free-falling inside the spacecraft. The LISA satellites and their scientific payload are being built by ESA, ESA member nations, and NASA.
