  	                  POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS
  			   PARTICLE ASTROPHYSICS
  	       GAMMA-RAY ASTRONOMY AND DARK MATTER DETECTION
  	            University of California, Los Angeles

  	We invite applications for postdoctoral research positions
  	in particle astrophysics at the University of California,
  	Los Angeles (UCLA). UCLA is involved in forefront research in
  	the areas of high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics and dark matter
  	detection.

  	Astrophysical gamma rays are produced by powerful cosmic
  	accelerators (e.g. pulsars, active galaxies, or gamma-ray bursts)
  	or by processes beyond the standard model of particle physics.
  	UCLA has a major involvement in the VERITAS array of four
  	atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, located in in southern Arizona
  	and sensitive to photons with energies between 50 GeV and 50 TeV.
  	See http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~veritas/ for details.
  	We are seeking a talented individual to carry out research
  	with VERITAS. There is also the possibility to analyze data
  	from the Large Area Telescope (LAT) of the Fermi Gamma-ray
  	Space Telescope. FERMI-LAT a newly launched satellite instrument
  	sensitive to photons between 30 MeV and 300 GeV.  We encourage
  	candidates with an observational/instrumental background in
  	astronomy or an experimental background in astrophysics or
  	particle/nuclear physics to apply.

  	UCLA is involved in the GAPS experiment designed to detect
  	dark matter through its decays to anti-particles. GAPS will be
  	a balloon-borne instrument sensitive to low-energy anti-deuterons
  	that could provide a unique signature for the annihilation of
  	neutralino dark matter. GAPS will consist of a large array of
  	Si(Li) detectors, surrounded by a Time-of-Flight (TOF) system.
  	See http://gamma1.astro.ucla.edu/gaps/index.html for details.
  	We encourage candidates with experimental backgrounds in
  	particle physics, nuclear physics or astrophysics to apply.

  	A Ph.D., or equivalent degree, in physics or astronomy is
  	required.  Applicants should send a CV and arrange for
  	at least three letters of recommendation to be sent to:

  	Prof. Rene Ong
  	Department of Physics and Astronomy
  	University of California
  	Los Angeles, CA 90095-1547

  	Deadline for receipt of applications is March 1, 2009.
  	(For inquiries please contact Prof. Ong at rene en astro.ucla.edu).
