The H.E.S.S./CTAO team at LPNHE is involved in analyzing data from the H.E.S.S. experiment, particularly in the study of high-energy emissions from extragalactic sources, such as active galactic nuclei (AGN) and gamma-ray bursts (GRB). The team is also involved in the construction of CTAO, the future very high energy observatory, with the development of fast acquisition electronic boards (FEBs) that equip NectarCAM, one of the two concepts for CTAO’s Medium-Sized Telescopes (MSTs).

The successful candidate will focus on developing an innovative approach to measuring the Hubble constant (H₀) using gamma-ray observations. The project aims to address the current tension in H₀ measurements using data from major gamma-ray instruments, such as Fermi-LAT, the Cherenkov telescopes H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS as well as the future CTAO observatory.
