Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position at the University
of Geneva (Geneva Observatory and the affiliated ISDC) in Switzerland to start
as soon as possible.

The successful candidate will be member of the research group led by Prof. Marc
Audard in the field of star formation ( http://isdc.unige.ch/youngstars ). The
group's research interests focus on the study of star formation through
multi-wavelength observations (from X-rays to radio).

Candidates with experience in (sub-)millimeter observations of star forming
regions, jets and molecular outflows, and disks are particularly encouraged to
apply. Applications from candidates with theoretical expertise in the
interpretation of (sub-)millimeter data are also welcome. The successful
candidate is expected to collaborate with the group and will also be encouraged
to pursue independent research.

The appointment is for one year and may be extended to a second year, should
additional funds become available. Salary ranges from about 64,000 to 73,000
Swiss Francs, depending on experience. Funds for research expenses and travel
are available as well.

Candidates should send a curriculum vitae, a publication list, a description of
research interests and plans. They should also arrange for two letters of
recommendation to be sent by e-mail (preferred) or directly to the address
