Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Gravitational Physics, Bangalore, India

The Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, India, invites applications for a postdoctoral (Research Associate-I) position in theoretical gravitational physics funded by the ANRF Advanced Research Grant.

The position is part of an active research program in black hole physics and strong-field gravity, aimed at exploring fundamental aspects of gravity in both classical and quantum regimes. The work broadly connects to questions involving black hole spacetimes, tests of general relativity and its extensions, quantum effects near horizons, and the nature of ultra-compact objects. There is particular interest in linking theoretical developments with observational signatures, including those relevant for black hole imaging, using a combination of analytical and semi-analytical techniques.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Physics with a strong background in general relativity, black hole physics...
