Attention: Rene Ong, Professor
We invite applications for a postdoctoral research position at
the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the field of
high energy gamma-ray astronomy. UCLA is involved in two
forefront ground-based experiments: STACEE and VERITAS.
These experiments study high energy photons produced by sources
such as AGN, Supernova Remnants, pulsars, and gamma-ray bursts.
Located near Albuquerque, NM, STACEE is a newly-commissioned
atmospheric Cherenkov telescope sensitive to gamma rays at
energies between 50 and 500 GeV. VERITAS is a future array of
seven imaging telescopes to be located on Mt. Hopkins, AZ.
The successful candidate will work at UCLA and have the opportunity to work on
the analysis of data from STACEE and on the development of instrumentation for
VERITAS. We encourage candidates with experimental backgrounds in
astronomy/astrophysics or particle/nuclear physics to apply. A Ph.D., or equivalent degree,
in physics or astronomy is required. Applicants should send a CV and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent
to the above address.
Deadline for receipt of applications is 1 February 2001. Women and minority candidates are encouraged to apply. AAE/EOE.
