The deadline for the application is at the end of November this year. Please find attached the job advertisement. Please circulate this ad. in your collaboration. best regards, Masahiro Teshima ------------------------------------------------------------------ Max-Planck-Institut fur Physik (Werner-Heisenberg-Institut) Postdoctoral Positions Gamma‐Ray Astrophysics (MAGIC and CTA) The Max Planck Institute for Physics is one of the world's leading research institutes, focused on particle and astroparticle physics from both an experimental and a theoretical perspective. Our research activities in astroparticle physics comprise participation in the gamma ray telescope MAGIC at the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory at La Palma (Spain), the future space mission EUSO, and the CRESST dark matter search at Gran Sasso (Italy). The Max Planck Institute for Physics invites applications for Postdoctoral Positions in high energy gamma ray astrophysics to strengthen its experimental astroparticle physics group. MAGIC is the world's largest ground based Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescope studying the deep universe with high energy gamma rays above 50 GeV. The scientific objectives are the study of high energy astronomical objects, e.g. AGNs, GRBs, Pulsars, and SNRs, and the investigation of fundamental physics. The first telescope has been in scientific operation since summer 2004, and the second telescope is now almost completed and will soon start its commissioning phase. Please see the MAGIC web site (http://wwwmagic.mppmu.mpg.de/). In parallel, the MPI experimental astroparticle physics group is heavily involved in the next generation project CTA (Cherenkov Telescope Array), which aims at a 10 times better sensitivity than currently working IACTs, and covers a wider energy range between a few 10s GeV and 100 TeV. We are looking for several postdoctoral researchers who can contribute to the MAGIC experiment and also to the study of the next generation project CTA. Candidates with an experimental background in cosmic‐ray physics, gamma‐ray physics, or neighbouring fields, such as elementary particle physics and astrophysics, are invited to apply. Interested scientists should send their applications (including a CV, list of publications and research interest) until 30 November 2008 and arrange for two recommendation letters to be received by the same date. The positions are limited to a period of initially two years, with the possibility of an extension by up to four years. Salary and benefits are in accordance with the German public service pay scale (TVoD). The Max Planck Society wishes to increase the participation of women in its research activities; therefore, applications from women are particularly welcome. Following its commitment to an equal opportunities employment policy, the Max Planck Society also especially encourages handicapped persons to submit their applications.
