Missions

The postdoctoral researcher will be part of a team involved in modelling and observations of very-high-energy gamma-ray sources, in the context of study of magnetic fields in the Milky Way galaxy and in the intergalactic medium.

Activités

The work will include development of numerical code for modelling of propagations of high-energy particles through magnetized medium and analysis of data of different gamma-ray telescopes: Fermi Large Area Telescope, Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO), Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO).

Compétences

- PhD in physics
- Knowledge of data analysis methods in gamma-ray astronomy
- Excellent programming skills in Python, C++.

Contexte de travail

The workplace is Astroparticle and Cosmology laboratory in Paris, a Joint Research Unit (UMR) overseen by Université Paris Cité (UPCité), the CNRS, the CEA and the Observatoire de Paris. APC brings together 80 researchers and faculties, along with 75 engineers, technicians, and administrative staff. Including non-permanent personnel (doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, technical staff on contracts, apprentices, and foreign visitors), approximately 220 people.
The laboratory's activities are organized around five scientific teams: Cosmology, Gravitation, High-Energy Astrophysics, Particles and Theory. The APC researchers have access to powerful computing resources and state-of-the-art experimental and observational facilities and benefit from first-class technical support.

Contraintes et risques

No particular risks.
Travel within France and abroad is to be expected.
