UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position at the
University of Michigan, to start anytime in the next year. The successful
candidate will work with Prof. Ray Jayawardhana and his collaborators
on observational and analytical studies of the formation of very low
mass stars, brown dwarfs and planets, and will be encouraged to pursue
independent research on related topics. On-going projects include
identification and characterization of young sub-stellar objects with
a view to understanding their origin and early evolution, using data
from Keck, VLT, Magellan and other major observatories. Prior experience
with infrared/optical photometry and/or spectroscopy is desirable.
The successful applicant will have independent access to the two
Magellan 6.5-meter telescopes in Chile, the MDM 2.4-meter and 1.3-meter
telescopes on Kitt Peak, the 26-meter radio telescope near Dexter,
Michigan, and the department image processing and computing network for
research activities. The position is for two years, with extension to a
third year possible, and includes substantial research support.

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a description of research
interests, and a list of publications, and should arrange for three
letters of recommendation to be sent directly to the address below.
Please indicate the preferred starting date. Applications received
