Postdoctoral Opportunity in
 High-Energy Astrophysics / Signal Processing CEA Saclay Bât 709 DSM/IRFU/AIM F-91191 Gif-Sur-Yvette CEDEX We would like to announce the availability of a post-doc position at AIM1, a joint research group shared between the CEA Saclay Astrophysics division and CNRS. The project will be focused on the development of high-energy astronomical data analysis algorithms that are transverse to several instruments, building on the strong knowledge and expertise available within AIM. In particular, we would like to attempt to develop techniques used for current and next-generation gamma-ray telescopes (HESS, CTA, and Fermi)2 along with advanced techniques based on multi-scale methods and sparse representation being developed for statistical analysis by the CEA CosmoStat group3. These will be applied to event reconstruction and scientific image analysis. Access to existing data (e.g. from HESS, plus simulated data from CTA) will allow for the pursuit of both technical developments and scientific research. Candidates should: • Be experienced with developing methods for signal processing and statistical techniques • Have a Ph.D related to signal and image processing , computer science, or astrophysics • Have some interest in high-energy astrophysics (though no formal background is required) The funding is for 2 years, provided by LABEX UnivEarthS (www.univearths.fr/en/), a joint venture of AIM and APC, and includes provisions for conference travel and equipment. CEA is a national scientific and engineering agency that plays a major role in fundamental research, energy, information-technology and health in France. CEA's Saclay research center is located in the greater Paris area about 30 km southwest of the city center. The astrophysics division includes leading members working on a wide range of international projects (including CTA, HESS, Fermi, SVOM, Euclid, SKA, and XMM-Newton). Interested candidates should contact Karl Kosack with a CV and letter(s) of recommendation before 24 July 2015 (due to the hiring process, the contract will start in Fall 2015)
