The University of Surrey is a global university with a world-class research profile and an enterprising and forward-thinking spirit, committed to research and innovation excellence and to benefitting the economy, society and the environment. Our researchers practise their excellence against the backdrop of our broad spectrum of technological, human, health and social sciences, and their uncommonly strong linkages forged in an integrated campus culture of cooperation.  The Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) is dedicated to cutting-edge research, scholarship and teaching in translation, and related modalities of intra-lingual, cross-lingual and cross-modal communication, including modalities aimed at enhancing accessible communication. Since our foundation in 1982, we have contributed to the theoretical advancement of translation and interpreting studies, whilst achieving real-world applicability by studying translation and interpreting as socio-technological practices, highlighting their economic and social value and their role as an enabling force for a globally connected world.  We are seeking a Research Fellow to support research and impact activities in an evolving strand of work focused on improving accessible communication for people with learning disabilities and other underserved audiences, particularly in audiovisual and cultural contexts. The postholder will contribute to translating research insights into practical tools, guidance and training, building on established collaborations with charities, cultural organisations and industry partners, and complementing our wider research in media accessibility. About you The successful candidate will have a strong interest in inclusive and accessible communication, experience supporting impact activities and stakeholder engagement, and excellent communication and organisational skills. A clear understanding of research impact and knowledge exchange is essential, along with the ability to work collaboratively with academic and non-academic partners. This is a fixed-term part-time post until 30 September 2026. How to apply Please submit your application with a CV and Cover Letter on the University website. For an informal discussion regarding this post, please contact Prof Sabine Braun, Director of CTS by email (s.braun@surrey.ac.uk). Further details Job Description

The University of Southampton is inviting applications for a postdoctoral position in gravitational-wave astronomy. The successful candidate will join Greg Ashton’s STFC-funded programme, Advancing Gravitational-Wave Astronomy Using Artificial Intelligence, to work on computational Bayesian inference methods and their astrophysical applications.  Southampton's School of Mathematical Sciences is home to a large research group in gravitational physics, comprising 9 staff members, over 15 postdoctoral researchers, and approximately 15 PhD students. Research in the group includes black-hole and neutron-star physics, gravitational-wave source modelling and data analysis, gravitational self-force modelling and numerical relativity. The group is involved in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the LISA Consortium, the Einstein Telescope collaboration and the Cosmic Explorer consortium.  Candidates should demonstrate a track record of research in gravitational-wave astronomy. The applicant will have, or be about to obtain, a relevant PhD degree in physics or mathematics.  This is a full-time post, available from the 5th of January 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. The post is funded for two years with the possibility of a 1-year extension. Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the PhD. Before the qualification is awarded, the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.  A complete application should include (i) a CV, including a list of publications, (ii) a statement of research interests (1 to 2 pages), and (iii) the contact information of at least two referees.  Informal enquiries may be made to Greg Ashton at Gregory.Ashton@ligo.org
