After his PhD, he moved to Stanford University and the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) as a Kavli postdoctoral fellow (2017-2020). He became a FINCA  and Gruber fellow at the Finnish Center for Astronomy with ESO, University of Turku (2020-2023), and a NASA postdoctoral fellow at the Marshall Space Flight Center (2023-). In 2023 he was awarded an ERC starting grant entitled "BOOTES: Black hOle Optical polarization TimE-domain Survey" and he will be joining IA-FORTH as a tenured Researcher C in 2024.

After completing his thesis he was a postdoc at the Max-Planck-Institute for Radioastronomy (MPIfR) during 2013-14 before moving to the Univ. of Toronto (Canada) as a Dunlup Fellow. He returned to Bonn as a postdoc at MPIfR until 2019 and then he became a Research Fellow of at MPIfR and the Argelander Institute for Radioastronomy in 2019. In late 2020 he was elected as a tenure track Associate Researcher at the Institute  of Astrophysics - FORTH and formally joined the Institute in early 2021.

From 2009 until 2011 he was a postdoctoral researcher  at the Dept. of Physics of the Univ. of Crete (Greece) before moving to the Spitzer Science Center at the California Institute of Technology (USA) as a postdoctoral researcher during 2011-2014. He was an ALMA-CONICYT fellow at the Nucleo de Astronomia, Universidad Diego Portales (Chile) from 2014 until 2019 as well as a CAS-CONICYT Fellow from 2019 until 2020. He was elected at IA-FORTH as Associate Researcher in 2020. He obtained tenure and was promoted to Senior Researcher in 2023.

After completing her PhD, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie (MPIfR) in Bonn (Germany) during 2016 - 2019. In 2020, she joined the group of the PASIPHAE ERC project, as a  postdoctoral fellow of IA-FORTH. In 2022 she was awarded an ERC starting grant entitled "SMILE: Search for Milli-lenses to discriminate between dark matter models" and in July 2022 she obtained a permanent Associate Researcher position at IA.

Pablo Reig is currently Director of Research (Researcher A) at IA-FORTH. His PhD dissertation was awarded the "Premio Extraordinario de Doctorado" (Extraordinary Doctorate Award) by the University of Valencia. He has worked as a researcher and/or lecturer in the University of Valencia (1991-1996,2002-2004), University of Southampton (1996-1998), University of Crete (2004-2010) and Foundation for Research & Technology-Hellas (1998-2002, 2004-present). Since 2019 he is the Scientific Operations Manager of Skinakas Observatory.

He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at The University of Chicago (2005 - 2008) and at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (a NASA lab run by Caltech) (2008-2011). He was elected as an Assistant Professor at the University of Crete in 2011, and he joined the Department of Physics in the fall of 2012. Between 2011 and 2012 he was a Visiting Scientist at the Max-Planck Institute for Radioastronomy in Bonn, Germany. He was promoted to an Associate Professor in 2018 and the same year he was awarded an ERC consolidator grant entitled "Polar-Areas Stellar-Imaging in Polarization High-Accuracy Experiment - PASIPHAE". In 2023 he was promoted to Professor.

From 2000 until 2008 he was a researcher at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics at Cambridge, MA (USA). There he worked on X-ray observations of nearby galaxies with the Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray observatories. He joined the Department of Physics as an Assistant Professor in the fall of 2008, he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2015 and to a Professor in 2020. In 2014 he was awarded an ERC consolidator grant entitled Accreting binary populations in Nearby Galaxies: Observations and Simulations (A-BINGOS). He was promoted to Professor of Observational Astrophysics in 2020.
