Postdoctoral researcher in gamma-ray astronomy for the Gammapy project

Among the high energy group of the APC, the main task will consist in building the Science Analysis Tool of the CTA observatory (Cherenkov Telescope Array) based on the open-source library Gammapy : development, tests and project review until delivery. The applicant will ideally conduct her/his research activities in the context of the gamma-ray group activities, in particular the analysis of the H.E.S.S. or CTA observatories.
Gammapy is on open source and openly developed python library. It is part of the scientific python ecosystem and provides a library for gamma-ray astronomy high level data analysis. It serves as a basis for the CTA science tool software. It is already widely used to analyze existing gamma-ray instrument data such as H.E.S.S. or the LST-1 of CTA.
The applicant is expected to get heavily involved in the Gammapy development and to become part of the maintainers team. They will work on some of the following aspects: coding and testing, scientific validation, documentation and/or devops. This requires a regular attendance to developer meetings and participation to coding sprints and to the dissemination effort by conducting hands-on tutorial sessions. They will be also involved in the project reviews of the CTA observatory along the product delivery process.
The applicant's research activities should ideally be in TeV gamma-ray astronomy with H.E.S.S. or CTA data. The APC gamma-ray group has a broad range of activities and interests from Galactic physics (Galactic Centre, PeVatrons, Pulsar Wind Nebulae and pulsars) to extragalactic physics (blazars, transients etc).
