The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a global (27 nation, >1000 person, ~£150M capital) project to construct the first facility-level ground-based gamma-ray observatory. CTA is in a prototyping/preparatory phase with heavy UK involvement and will be completed ~2020. CTA has a very broad science case (see the pro-forma submitted to the Programmatic Review) and builds on the success of current generation Cherenkov telescope arrays such as HESS (which received the Rossi and Descartes prizes). I have recently been appointed as the Project Scientist of CTA, and here a request financial support for a post-doctoral research assistant to support me in my research whilst I hold this post, to strengthen UK scientific impact early in the CTA programme.

切伦科夫望远镜阵列（Cherenkov Telescope Array，CTA）是一个全球性（27个国家，超过1000人，约1.5亿英镑资本）项目，旨在建造第一个设施级地基伽马射线天文台。CTA正处于原型设计/筹备阶段，英国参与其中，将于2020年左右完成。CTA有一个非常广泛的科学案例（见提交给Programmatic Review的形式），并建立在当前一代切伦科夫望远镜阵列的成功基础上，如HESS（获得了罗西和笛卡尔奖）。我最近被任命为CTA的项目科学家，并在这里请求博士后研究助理的财政支持，以支持我在我的研究，而我持有这个职位，以加强英国的科学影响早期CTA计划。
