About this position
The Laboratoire d’Annecy de Physique des Particules (LAPP) at CNRS is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join its CTAO group working on very-high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics. The project focuses on the study of pulsars and millisecond pulsars with the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory, using the Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) during construction, commissioning, and the early phase of scientific operations.
The successful candidate will play a leading role in exploiting stereoscopic LST data for pulsar and MSP studies. The work includes building and steering an observing programme for the most promising pulsar and MSP candidates, as well as carrying out searches for MSP emission toward the Galactic Centre, both from individual point sources and from unresolved populations.
A substantial part of the position is methodological, combining scientific analysis with advanced data-analysis development. The postdoc will work with GammaLearn, a deep-learning reconstruction method developed at LAPP for imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope data, extending and optimising it for the stereoscopic LST1–4 context to improve sensitivity to weak and low-energy pulsar signals, including phase-resolved searches.
The role also involves developing simulation-based inference approaches for the Galactic Centre region, with the aim of jointly constraining unresolved source populations, diffuse gamma-ray emission, and hadronic background in LST data. The position sits within the CTAO/LAPP research environment and combines observational strategy, archival analysis, and future LST observations in a fast-moving astroparticle-physics setting.
