Postdoctral 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 (TVoeD).
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.
