Support for the CTA Project Scientist

切伦科夫望远镜阵列(CTA)是一个全球性(27个国家，1000人，资本约1.5亿GB)的项目，旨在建造第一个设施级地面伽马射线天文台。CTA正处于原型/准备阶段，英国方面有大量参与，将于2020年完成。CTA有一个非常广泛的科学案例(见提交给方案审查的形式)，并建立在当代切伦科夫望远镜阵列的成功基础上，如Hess(获得了Rossi和Descartes奖)。我最近被任命为CTA的项目科学家，并在此请求为一名博士后研究助理提供财政支持，以在我担任这一职位期间支持我的研究，以加强CTA项目早期在英国的科学影响力。

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.
