The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) is a ground-based gamma-ray and cosmic-ray experiment located at an altitude of 4,410 metres above sea level in Daocheng, Sichuan, China. The completion and successful operation of the LHAASO experiment have established its important position in exploring the forefront of cosmic ray origins worldwide.

With unprecedented sensitivity, LHAASO has achieved significant scientific breakthroughs in surveying the gamma-ray sky from sub-TeV up to PeV, launching the era of ultra-high-energy gamma astronomy. Additionally, LHAASO is capable of precision measurements of  the spectra of individual species of cosmic rays, composition, and anisotropy in a wide energy range (∼1 TeV to 1 EeV). LHAASO is also expected to explore the forefront of new physics. You may visit the LHAASO website (http://english.ihep.cas.cn/lhaaso/) to get more information.

The objective of LHAASO Postdoctoral Fellowships is to support young researchers and foster excellent studies based on LHAASO data, including, but not limited to, the field of gamma-ray astronomy, cosmic ray physics, multi-messenger astronomy, AI skills for related science study based on LHAASO data. We provide flexible work place either in Chengdu or Beijing where you can develop your science through stimulating interactions. There are no nationality restrictions for applicants.
