> Applied physicist [OP/INT/01]
>
> - Context
> EGO is opening a position in applied physics dedicated to the
> commissioning and development of the Virgo interferometric antenna. Virgo
> which is a gravitational wave antenna aiming at the detection of
> gravitational waves generated by galactic and extra-galactic astrophysical
> sources. The experiment is based on a laser Michelson interferometer with
> arms 3 km long. The interferometer is located at EGO near Pisa (Italy) and
> it is currently going through its commissioning phase.
>
> - Assignment
> He/she will participate to the commissioning of the interferometer. In
> particular the work will include the implementation and tuning of the
> interferometer control system, the interferometer characterization and the
> noise hunting with the goal of reaching the design sensitivity.
>
> - Background
> Interferometry, control systems, optics and electronics. A background in
> the field of gravitational wave detection with laser interferometers, and
> in particular on subjects such as interferometer alignment, suspended
> cavities control, laser stabilization and interferometer noise hunting,
> will be appreciated.  A PhD in fields related to the above mentioned
> subjects would be a title of merit. Fluency in the English language will
> be considered as an essential qualification.
>
>
> Interested candidates are welcome to send their CVs, using the EGO
