Chair/Readership in Astronomy (St Andrews)

We invite applications from high-profile astrophysicists who are leading major developments relevant to the field of astro-biology. This post is part of a key collaborative initiative in astro-biology/exo-planets linking the University of St.Andrews and the University of Edinburgh within the recently formed Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA). You will play a key role in developing this joint venture. The University of St.Andrews is a member of SUPA (http://www.supa.ac.uk), a new trans-institutional alliance that creates a common strategy for physics research across Scotland.
