The postdoc will work with Prof. Jean Brodie, Prof. Duncan Forbes and Prof. Warrick Couch, and collaborators in Australia, on an Australian Research Council funded project to better understand galaxy formation and evolution. In particular, the focus will be on the origins of Ultra Diffuse Galaxies (UDGs) in a range of environments. Opportunities will be available to supervise postgraduate students and to conduct independent research. The position may be extended beyond 2 years, subject to performance and funding.</span><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:0.25em 0em;padding:0.25em 0em;line-height:1.3em;color:rgb(1,1,1);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Arial,"Bitstream Vera Sans","DejaVu Sans",Meiryo,"Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro","MS PGothic",Osaka,sans-serif;font-size:17.5px"><b>About CAS</b><br style="margin:0px;padding:0px">CAS is one of Australia's largest astronomy research centres, with 24 academic staff, 17 postdoctoral researchers and 40 PhD students.
