* DEPARTMENT PhD Position * CONTRACT TYPE PhD Position * LOCATION Barcelona, Spain Go to the IFAE website for complete position description and to apply. #### **About IFAE** The High Energy Physics Institute in Barcelona (IFAE) announces the opening of one 4\-year PhD student position in the Gamma\-ray group. IFAE is a worldwide\-recognized center for fundamental research in Particle Physics, Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology, and provides an international, dynamic, and competitive environment for training of young researchers. #### **About the Gamma\-ray Group** At the IFAE Gamma\-ray Group we develop advanced detector technologies for future space gamma\-ray observatories and play leading roles in several major international projects, including HERD, FOCUS, MAGIC, and the CTAO. As a PhD student in our group, you will have the unique, multi\-faceted opportunity to contribute directly to cutting\-edge hardware developments, drive the scientific assessment and simulations of next\-generation space mission concepts, and perform high\-impact data analysis using the very first scientific data from the CTA LSTs. #### **Job profile and responsibilities** The PhD thesis will integrate both instrumentation R\&D for future gamma\-ray space missions and scientific data analysis using observations from current gamma\-ray observatories. The successful candidate will be expected to: * Contribute to the design, testing, and evaluation of instrumentation for future gamma\-ray space missions. * Perform scientific analyses of data from gamma\-ray observatories (MAGIC and/or CTAO\-LST) to study astrophysical sources and fundamental physics. * Develop simulation, reconstruction, and analysis tools supporting instrumentation studies and data analysis. * Actively participate in international scientific collaborations, presenting results and contributing to scientific publications. * Conduct original research leading to the completion of a PhD thesis in Gamma\-Ray Astronomy.
