Dear ASTRO-F colleagues,

I forward the message from Prof. Glenn White in University of Kent
announcing that three post-doc positions are available in UK;
two for ASTRO-F and one for SIRTF.

The original documents in MS Word is attached.
The following plain text version should be equivalent.

Research and Analogous Faculty Grade 1A

The University of Sussex and the University of Kent invite applications
for three Postdoctoral Research Associates in Infrared Astronomy and
Data Processing, available from April 2003, to develop and exploit far-
infrared surveys.

The first post will be to work at Sussex on the scientific exploitation
of infrared extragalactic surveys. The successful candidate will explore
galaxy bias and evolution by studying the clustering of galaxies detected
in the largest SIRTF (launch April 2003) legacy programme, SIRTF Wide-
area Infrared Survey (SWIRE, see http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/SWIRE/).

The second and third posts (fixed-term for 29 and 36 months) will be
to work on the ASTRO-F mission (launch February 2004,
see http://astro.ic.ac.uk/~cpp/astrof/) - the first all-sky far-infrared
survey since IRAS. One post will be to work at Sussex developing source
extraction software, a key element in the production of the all-sky
catalogue (expected to contain 10^7 galaxies), the other at Kent
developing deglitching and destriping software and producing the ASTRO-F
all-sky atlas.

A Ph.D.in Physics, Astronomy, or a related discipline is required,
ideally with experience of astronomical survey science, and/or writing
astronomical software. 

Enquiries should be addressed to  Dr. Seb Oliver (S.Oliver@Sussex.ac.uk)
and/or Prof. Glenn White (G.J.White@ukc.ac.uk).

All applicants will be considered for all posts.

Salary in the range:   $B!W (B18,265 to  $B!W (B27,339 per annum. 

Closing date:

Candidates should send a letter of application, CV, and a statement of
research interests and skills they could bring to the projects directly
to either of the addresses below, along with references from two referees. 

Dr. Seb Oliver, Astronomy Centre, Department of Physics and Astronomy,
The University of Sussex, Brighton, BN2 9QJ, UK 

and
