The successful candidate is expected to contribute in some of the proposed activities and to have a good level of scientific background in astroparticle physics and data analysis methods. Teamwork with researchers and data scientists, and coordination with other ESFRI projects in astronomy are foreseen by the OBELICS work plan.The successful candidate will have access to the H.E.S.S. data and the CTA simulated data and is expected to validate some of the proposed solutions with specific high-energy gamma-ray scientific cases. A relevant contribution to the progress of the CTA observatory data management implementation is also expected. Promotion, dissemination and open access to solutions shared with other ATSERICS projects are prior objectives.
Qualifications
- PhD in Astrophysics/Astroparticle Physics or PhD in Particle Physics followed by a relevant postdoctoral experience in Astroparticle Physics.
- Skills and work experience in scientific software developments.
- Previous demonstrated work experience in cooperative software or computing projects in international context.
- This position requires a breadth of knowledge of some modern challenges in computing, infrastructures, scientific software, big-data processing, data archive and data access.
- A background in high-energy gamma-ray data analysis and in modern astrophysical open- access tools and frameworks such as the Virtual Observatory would be appreciated.
- Excellent oral and written English skills are a prerequisite.
Appointment period:
The appointment is initially for 2 years and could be extended up to 3 years, depending on the results of midterm evaluation. How to apply: The application should consist of a detailed Curriculum Vitae and a description of work experiences. At least two references are requested.
