Our research activities in astroparticle physics comprise participation in the gamma ray telescope MAGIC at La Palma Observatory, the future space mission EUSO, and the CRESST dark matter search at Gran Sasso. The Max Planck Institute for Physics invites applications for Postdoctoral Positions in dark matter search, in high-energy gamma ray astrophysics, or in ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray physics, to strengthen our experimental astroparticle physics group. CRESST is a unique dark matter experiment using scintillating cryogenic detectors operated at about 10mK temperature. The measurement of the recoil energies and the scintillation light leads to an excellent suppression of backgrounds. Phase II of the experiment with 10kg target mass is presently under construction at Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy. MAGIC is the world's largest ground based Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescope to study the deep universe with high energy gamma rays above 30 GeV. The scientific objectives are not only the study of high energy astronomical objects, e.g. AGNs, GRBs, Pulsars, and SNRs, but also the investigation of fundamental physics, such as the search for Dark Matter and tests for Lorentz invariance. The first telescope has been in scientific operation since summer of 2004 and the second telescope with advanced photosensors is under construction. It will be completed in 2007. EUSO is an experiment for UHE cosmic-ray observations, looking down onto the earth's atmosphere with a wide angle telescope from the International Space Station. EUSO will achieve a 300-1000 times larger aperture than currently running experiments, and measure with high precision UHE cosmic rays above the GZK energy and UHE neutrinos. We are looking for young postdoctoral researchers who can contribute to one or several of these experimental activities. Candidates with an experimental background in cosmic-ray physics, gamma-ray physics, dark matter search or neighbouring fields, such as elementary particle physics and astrophysics, are invited to apply. Interested scientists should send their application (including a CV, list of publications and research interest) until the end of June 2005 and arrange for three recommendation letters to be received by the same date. The positions are limited to initially two years, with the possibility of an extension by another four years. Salary and benefits are in accordance with the German public service pay scale (BAT-IIa). The Max Planck Society wishes to increase the participation of women in their research activities; therefore, applications from women are particularly welcome. Following their commitment to an equal opportunities employment policy, the Max Planck Society also especially encourages handicapped persons to submit their applications.
