</b><b>(*) PhD position 1: Searching for New Physics with
Gravitational Waves
</b><br>

<br>
- Research focus: Analysis of recent data by the pulsar timing
array collaborations NANOGrav and IPTA, with a focus on searches
for physics beyond the Standard Model, as well as the further
development of theoretical methods for the description of
gravitational-wave sources in the
early Universe (cosmological phase transitions, cosmic strings and
other topological defects, etc.)
<br>
<b><br>
</b><b>(*) PhD position 2: Axion Physics in the Early Universe
</b><br>
- <a class="gmail-v1moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://inspirehep.net/jobs/2014805" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://inspirehep.net/jobs/2014805</a>
<br>
- Research focus: Phenomenology of cosmological axion models
(cosmic
inflation, primordial black holes, magnetic fields, gravitational
waves, dark matter, baryon asymmetry of the Universe, etc.), as
well
as the further development of analytical and numerical tools for
particle cosmology in general
