                                                                       [pic]




The Elementary Particle Physics Group at the Physics Department of Humboldt
University Berlin (http://www-eep.physik.hu-berlin.de/) invites
applications for a postdoc position in very high-energy gamma-ray
astronomy.  Candidates are given the opportunity to participate in the
analysis of H.E.S.S. data (galactic sources, multi-wavelength studies, dark
matter searches) and to play a strong role in the design of the future CTA
(http://www.cta-observatory.org) gamma ray observatory (array operation
centre, data acquisition system).  The research will be carried out in
close cooperation with the CTA group at DESY in Zeuthen
(http://zms.desy.de) and the ECAP in Erlangen (http://www.ecap.physik.uni-
erlangen.de).

Applicants should hold a PhD in physics with focus on
astrophysics/astronomy or elementary particle physics.  Software skills and
experience in the operation of astrophysical observatories or particle
detectors would be assets.

Applicants should send their documents to the address given below by
November 20, 2009. Later applications will be considered until the position
is filled.

The opening is available starting January 1, 2010. A later starting date
can be negotiated. The position is initially limited to two years with a
possible extension by three years. Salary (BAT-O IIa) and benefits are
commensurate with public service organizations in the state of Berlin.
