> 
> We are seeking to appoint a postdoctoral researcher in brown dwarf
> astrophysics. The position is funded by an award from the Particle Physics
> and Astronomy Research council. The researcher will work within the
> substellar astrophysics group made up of Hugh Jones, David Pinfield, Phil
> Lucas, John Barnes and Jim Hough. The main focus of the postdoctoral
> researcher will be the interpretation and follow-up of brown dwarfs
> discovered by the large area survey made by the UKIDSS survey with the aim
> of finding Y dwarfs and determining the formation history of galactic
> brown dwarfs.
> 
> The centre for astrophysics research is based in the town of Hatfield
> located in semi-rural Hertfordshire. Hatfield and nearby St Albans are
> less than 25 minutes by train from central London.
> 
> The position, which is available initially for 30 months, can start 1st
