ESA Research Fellowships in Space Science, Madrid (Spain), Noordwijk (Netherlands), Baltimore (USA) ------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=27015 Deadline: 2023-09-18 Location: Madrid (Spain), Noordwijk (Netherlands), Baltimore (USA) Additional Information: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/space-science-faculty/opportunities/research-... Contact: yannis.zouganelis[AT]esa.int ESA Research Fellowships in Space Science We are pleased to inform you about the opening of the call for theEuropean Space Agency's Research Fellowships in Space Science. The call is opening on 28 August 2023 with an application deadline on 18 September 2023. ESA's postdoctoral Research Fellowship programme offers early-career scientists and engineers the possibility to carry out research in a variety of disciplines related to space science, space applications or space technology. Research Fellowships in Space Science specifically offer the opportunity to contribute to ESA's endeavour to explore our Solar System and the Universe, and cover the fields of heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics and fundamental physics. The research fellowships offer unique insights into ESA's environment and activities while conducting cutting-edge research. Mentoring and training opportunities are available, as are possibilities to engage with ESA science-related activities (e.g., archive/data science, operations, calibration, communication, citizen science). Within the Science Directorate (SCI), we welcome all independent proposals for innovative research associated with one or more of our missions. The Space Science fellowships can be taken up at any of the three sites ESAC (Spain), ESTEC (Netherlands) or STScI (USA) and we encourage applicants to choose sites that allow for best local collaborations. To learn more about the research conducted by the ESA scientists at different sites, please visit the Faculty Member Directory and the pages for the Faculty research groups. There is a separate page for research at the ESA Office at STScI (see also the research of non-ESA scientists at STScI). Duration Appointments are for a maximum of three years. The initial project is for two years. An extension for a third year requires a dedicated proposal and is frequently granted. Who can apply Applicants should have recently completed or be close to completing their PhD in a technical or scientific discipline. Preference will be given to candidates with up to five years of relevant experience after their PhD. Please note that applications are only considered from nationals of one of the following States: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Nationals from Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia, as Associate Member States, or Canada as a Cooperating State, can apply as well as those from Bulgaria, Croatia and Cyprus as European Cooperating States (ECS). According to the ESA Convention, the recruitment of staff must take into account an adequate distribution of posts among nationals of the ESA Member States. When short- listing for an interview, priority will first be given to candidates from under-represented Member States. More information on the Research Fellowship programme and on how to apply can be found at the link below. Deadline for applications is 18 September 2023. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ============================================== 3.

Living Reviews: Cosmology with LISA / Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity ------------------------------------------------------------ Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/2023/08/29/living-reviews-cosmology-with... Additional Information: https://www.springer.com/journal/41114 The open-access journal Living Reviews in Relativity has published two new review articles in July/August 2023: Auclair, P., Bacon, D., Baker, T. et al. [The LISA Cosmology WG] Cosmology with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna. Living Rev Relativ 26, 5 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1007/s41114-023-00045-2 Abstract: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) has two scientific objectives of cosmological focus: to probe the expansion rate of the universe, and to understand stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds and their implications for early universe and particle physics, from the MeV to the Planck scale. However, the range of potential cosmological applications of gravitational-wave observations extends well beyond these two objectives. This publication presents a summary of the state of the art in LISA cosmology, theory and methods, and identifies new opportunities to use gravitational-wave observations by LISA to probe the universe. Note: This article is part of a joint Topical Collection between Living Reviews and the journal General Relativity and Gravitation (https://link.springer.com/collections/bhdbjdhdhg). Mertens, T.G., Turiaci, G.J. Solvable models of quantum black holes: a review on Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. Living Rev Relativ 26, 4 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1007/s41114-023-00046-1 Abstract: We review recent developments in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. This is a simple solvable model of quantum gravity in two dimensions (that arises e.g. from the s-wave sector of higher dimensional gravity systems with spherical symmetry). Due to its solvability, it has proven to be a fruitful toy model to analyze important questions such as the relation between black holes and chaos, the role of wormholes in black hole physics and holography, and the way in which information that falls into a black hole can be recovered. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3.2. 12 Australasian Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation, Hobart, Tasmania ------------------------------------------------------------ Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/2023/08/31/12-australasian-conference-on... Additional Information: https://www.acgrg12.org/ The Australasian Society for General Relativity and Gravitation (ASGRG) is organizing the 12th Australasian Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation (ACGRG). The purpose of the ACGRG is to provide a regional forum for members to discuss general relativity, foster collaboration, and promote ideas and insight into the nature of gravity. The topics covered are broad, ranging from gravitational wave physics and astrophysics, exact solutions, and quantum gravity to cosmology and simulations. The primary focus is on in-person participation. However, the proceedings will be streamed via Zoom, and it is anticipated that 25% of talks will be allocated to online speakers. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3.3.

Additional Information: https://www.springer.com/journal/10714/updates/25979842 We solicit submissions for a Topical Collection on "Hyperboloidal foliations in the era of gravitational-wave astronomy: from mathematical relativity to astrophysics" of the journal General Relativity and Gravitation by Guest Editors David Hilditch, Rodrigo Panosso Macedo, Alex Vano Vinuales and Anil Zenginoglu: https://link.springer.com/collections/jjghbiafhc In recent years, hyperboloidal methods have emerged as effective tools in the field of black-hole perturbation theory, finding wide-ranging applications in various areas, including the computation of long-time wave equations, quasi-normal modes, effective-one-body formalism, and self-force. Over the past decade, significant advancements have been made in computing generic solutions to nonlinear Einstein equations on hyperboloidal surfaces. These developments have propelled the field forward, enabling researchers to gain deeper insights into the behavior of black holes. The multidisciplinary nature of hyperboloidal methods have allowed for fruitful collaboration between mathematical relativity, numerical relativity and astrophysics, paving the way for further breakthroughs in our understanding of gravitational phenomena. This topical collection aims to provide a review of the current state-of-the-art in the field, and lays out open problems on the way towards solving Einstein's equations numerically in the non-linear regime. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
