Post-Doctoral Position for Gamma-Ray Astronomy (M/F)

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The CNRS Laboratoire d'Annecy de Physique des Particules (LAPP) is opening a postdoctoral position within its Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) group to work on the search for pulsars and millisecond pulsars (MSPs) with very-high-energy (VHE) gamma rays. The successful candidate will play a leading role in the exploitation of stereoscopic Large-Sized Telescopes (LST) data for pulsar and MSP science, in the context of the ongoing construction, commissioning, and early scientific exploitation of the LST1–4 array. A major objective will be to develop and lead an observation program targeting the most promising pulsar and MSP candidates. The candidate will also lead searches for MSP emission toward the Galactic Center, both from individual point-like sources and from the unresolved MSP population. The main scientific objective of the position will be to search for VHE emission from pulsars and MSPs, both from individual point-like sources and from unresolved populations, with a particular focus on the Galactic bulge. A major responsibility will be to develop and lead an observation program targeting the most promising pulsar and MSP candidates, from target selection and sensitivity studies to observation strategy, data analysis, and scientific interpretation. The candidate will also exploit archival and upcoming LST observations of the Galactic Center to search for individual
