Postdoc or engineer position for LISA data preprocessing at SYRTE, Paris

The LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) space mission will allow the detection of low frequency gravitational waves. In this project, we will develop new methods to reduce various noises in the LISA data efficiently in order to detect gravitational waves and to extract scientific results for various types of sources. This position is devoted either to a researcher or to a software engineer. Strong skills in software development, data analysis, and numerical calculations are required. In addition, knowledge of the LISA mission and of its instruments will be favoured. This project will be conducted within the “Theory and metrology” group at SYRTE.

Starting date: November 1, 2024

Duration: 1 year (can be extended to 2 years or more)
