The Postdoctoral fellow will assist the gamma-ray research groups at Chiba University and at the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR), The University of Tokyo, Japan. ICRR is a research center in the fields of cosmic ray and astroparticle physics and has a long-standing history in these fields. The high-energy gamma-ray group at ICRR / Chiba is deeply involved in the CTA project, in its construction, data analysis and interpretation of the CTA Large Size Telescopes (LSTs).

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow who can work for the MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov) telescopes and CTA (Cherenkov Telescope Array) projects. The successful applicant will perform physics analysis with multi-year MAGIC and LST-1 experimental data.
