Applications are invited for a Research Associate researching the

by its participation in the WASP exoplanetary transit project and
leadership of the WASP-South survey. The Research Associate will join
a successful observational research programme investigating the
properties of young, low-mass stars, their circumstellar and birth
environments and how these influence the planet-forming process.
Research methods will include multi-wavelength (optical, infrared,
X-ray) observations of stars in young clusters using facilities such as
the VLT, Spitzer and XMM-Newton.
