User Context for batchable classes

[$Abhi$]

Hi,

I have a APEX class that implements the Database.batchable Interface.As per my knowledge the batch jobs run in system context, and are not limited by the sharing rules.

I wanted to know that, if a class implements the Database.batchable Interface then, is the constructor of this class run in system context or or not.

Any pointers on the same would be of great help.

Thanks
