[Graduados] VERITAS Post-doc

[Andrea P. Buccino]

The VHE gamma-ray group at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory
(SAO) has a vacancy for a physicist to do post-doctoral research with
the recently commissioned VERITAS array at the Whipple Observatory in
southern Arizona. The successful candidate will work with Dr. Wystan
Benbow and Dr. Trevor Weekes on the program to study VHE emission
from AGN with emphasis on observations with VERITAS and the Whipple
10m gamma-ray telescope.  These studies will include using multi-
wavelength data from the optical and infrared telescopes at the
Whipple Observatory, as well as from various satellites (e.g.
SWIFT).  Applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics, astrophysics or
astronomy, an aptitude for instrumentation and observation,
experience in data analysis and the enthusiasm to take advantage of a
facility that is at the cutting edge of high-energy astrophysics
research. The person filling this position will work on data
reduction, participate in writing observing proposals, and work on
relevant science analysis and interpretation. The research will be
conducted at the SAO offices in the University of Arizona and on-site
at the nearby Whipple Observatory. Hence there are many opportunities
for working with and improving the VERITAS hardware.

Please contact, Dr. Wystan Benbow (wbenbow en cfa.harvard.edu) if you
have any questions regarding the opportunity.  For general details
regarding the application process, salary, etc, please see the

Thank you,
Wystan
