🧑🎓 PhD positions in “Gravity at the Extreme: from Theory to Observation” at the @mpi_grav in Potsdam 🇩🇪
ℹ️ https://www.aei.mpg.de/1334890/phd-positions-imprs-2026
📅 deadline for full consideration: 19 Dec 2025
We announce opening of several PhD positions at the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) “Gravity at the Extreme: from Theory to Observation”.
We are particularly interested in hiring creative, proactive and motivated candidates who flourish at working in a vibrant, interdisciplinary and synergistic group.
Successful candidates will join one of the scientific departments, either the “Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity” or the “Computational Relativistic Astrophysics” department.

The “Computational Relativistic Astrophysics” department at the @mpi_grav in Potsdam announces the opening of several postdoctoral appointments.
Each postdoctoral position will be fully‑funded for a duration of 2 to 3 years and will offer benefits such as on‑site childcare and further family‑support services.
ℹ️ https://www.aei.mpg.de/1320962/cra-postdoc-2026
* Work in a world‑class team alongside two group leaders, a senior scientist, and a vibrant community of postdocs and PhD students.
* Do cutting‑edge science in relativistic astrophysics including neutron star mergers, nucleosynthesis, stellar core collapse and explosion, the formation and evolution of very massive and supermassive black holes, and multi-messenger astrophysics.
* You will have access to high-performance computers at Max Planck Computing and Data Facility
🗓️ Application deadline (full consideration): 21 December 2025
🗓️ Start date: from 1 September 2026

Please share: Congratulations to Clara Wanjura for receiving the German Physical Society's Gustav Hertz Prize 2026 !
She is awarded the prize for her pioneering contributions to two modern topics: #neuromorphic systems, that promise to reduce the energy consumption of artificial intelligence #AI , and non-Hermitian #topology , which describes a set of sometimes counterintuitive wave phenomena.
Clara is research group leader at our @MPI_ScienceOfLight in #Erlangen .

I know the researches are enthusing about materials science applications of this new tiny X-ray emitter—a nanoscale synchrotron radiation source—but I look at the world in 2025 and I just think, "drones with X-ray lasers coming to an urban battlefield near YOU!"

There's a lot of subjunctive, "concept stage", and "in simulations" there.
Doesn't "QUASAR Group" make for a good, innocuous sounding, military-industrial complex corporation name, though? (-:

This is what the band of the Milky Way would look like at night if your eyes could see radio waves. A hidden beauty.
It's a new image created by the Murchison Widefield Array, which scanned the sky in 20 radio "colors" over frequencies from 72 to 231 megahertz.

Here's a comparison between the sky that you can see with your human eyes & the sky seen through the radio eyes of the Murchison Widefield Array in Western Australia.

"The moment of discovery" does not always exist: the scientist's work is too tenuous, too divided, for the certainty of success to crackle out suddenly in the midst of his laborious toil like a stroke of lightening, dazzling him by its fire.

~Marie Curie #BOTD in 1867.
Happy birthday to Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867 – 1934, Polish-born, naturalized-French #physicist & #chemist at work in her lab. The contents of her lab glassware appropriately glow-in-the-dark!
Marie Curie was the 1st woman to win a Nobel prize, the only woman to ever win TWO Nobel prizes, and the only person ever to win in two different sciences: #physics & #chemistry! She was also the 1st woman prof at the U of Paris, 🧵
Pour celleux qui veulent s'informer en quelques mots et images sur le sujet sur lequel Jean a travaillé en thèse avec moi, je viens de voir que le petit blurb qu'on nous avait demandé pour le rapport d'activité GENCI 2024 est maintenant publié. #physics #astrophysics #fluids #hpc #VisMaVieDeScientifique #ChercheursQuiTrouventUnPeu
