Opening Date: November 7, 2025
Closing Date: December 7, 2025
Ref:IFAE2025/44_GAMMA-RAYS_SO_Postdoc
The Gamma-ray Astronomy research group at the Institut de Física d'Altes Energies (IFAE) in Barcelona is looking for a motivated and talented candidate for a 2-year post-doctoral position, to work in the commissioning and early scientific exploitation of the Large-Sized Telescopes of the CTAO-North array.
About IFAEIFAE is an internationally recognized center for fundamental research in Particle Physics, Astroparticle Physics, and Cosmology. Its main mission is to advance these fields through theoretical, experimental, and technological research. IFAE offers an international, dynamic, and competitive environment for the training of young researchers. IFAE has been accredited three times with the "Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence" distinction, most recently for the period.
About the IFAE Gamma-ray Astronomy groupThe IFAE Gamma-ray Astronomy research group is a leader in the development and scientific exploitation of state-of-the-art, ground-based gamma-ray telescopes. As a key member of the MAGIC and CTAO-LST collaborations, the group develops critical hardware, software, and data management solutions. Our members are recognized experts in gamma-ray data analysis, with research spanning astrophysical phenomena and fundamental physics. Building on this expertise, the group is also expanding its focus to space-based missions. We are contributing to the High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection (HERD) experiment, a next-generation detector for the Chinese Space Station. In parallel, we pursue R&D for future gamma-ray missions and play an active role in ESA proposals, including new-ASTROGAM, the envisioned successor to the Fermi-LAT satellite, and other compact mission concepts targeting complementary energy ranges.
Tasks and ResponsibilitiesThe successful candidate will: Participate in the commissioning of the array of Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) of the CTAO-N observatory (La Palma, Spain), mainly through the analysis of early observations for the verification of the scientific performance of the facility. Develop reconstruction, simulation, analysis or data-management tools for gamma-ray astronomy. Participate in the early scientific exploitation of the CTAO-N_LST array (data analysis and interpretation). The IFAE group is (or has been) engaged in a broad range of gamma-ray astronomy research, including the study of galactic and extragalactic sources, gamma-ray propagation, and fundamental physics topics such as dark matter searches and tests of Lorentz Invariance Violation. The successful candidate, as a member of the CTAO-LST collaboration, will have the opportunity to pursue research in their area of interest—whether within these topics or beyond—by participating in, or even leading, observation proposals and the resulting scientific publications
What we offer- Comprehensive training and development, including:
- Access to unique scientific infrastructure (e.g. Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos).
- Hands-on training in cutting-edge techniques, from detector R&D to advanced data analysis and machine learning.
- Attendance to international collaboration meetings, schools and workshops.
- Development of transferable skills in scientific communication, project management, and writing.
- Opportunities to present your work at international conferences and undertake research stays at collaborating institutions worldwide.
- A world-class research environment: As a Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence, IFAE provides a dynamic, international setting. You will join a leading research group and collaborate with top scientists through our involvement in major international scientific projects.
- An exceptional location: IFAE is located on the UAB university campus in the vibrant and cosmopolitan Barcelona metropolitan area, offering an outstanding quality of life.
We are looking for candidates with a strong background in high-energy astrophysics, a keen interest in data analysis and interpretation, fluent in written and spoken English and with good communication skills. Previous experience in scientific software development (especially with Python) and data analysis will be considered as key assets. Availability to travel to the observatory site in La Palma is required. The successful candidate is expected to have:
- Physics PHD
- Proficiency in the English language
- Pro-active attitude and good communication skills
The evaluation criteria and their weighting for the submitted applications will be the following:
