Postdoctoral Research Position
University of Pittsburgh
Department of Physics and Astronomy
3941 O'Hara Street,
Pittsburgh, PA 15260
USA
Email Inquiries: jdh@galah.phyast.pitt.edu

Attention: Dr. D. J. Hillier

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position at the
University of Pittsburgh. The successful applicant will work with
D. John Hillier on developing numerical techniques for multi-dimensional
radiative transfer, and on developing a multi-dimensional code that
can be used to analyze  objects for which geometric effects are
important. Initial application of the code will be to Be stars,
however we anticipate applying the techniques and principles to other
astrophysical objects (e.g, interacting binary stars, novae, 
supernovae, quasars).

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Astronomy. Expertise in two or more
of the following areas is highly desirable: radiative transfer,
atomic physics, stellar winds, hydrodynamics. Expertise with Fortran
(or C) programming is essential. The initial appointment, commencing
immediately, will be for 1 year, with a likely extension for a
further 2 years (subject to  funding and performance).

To apply, send a curriculum vitae and bibliography to D.J. Hillier at
the above address. Applicants should also send a brief description of
their suitability for the position, and of their current and future
research  interests (2-3 pages maximum), and arrange for 3 letters of
recommendation to be sent directly to the above address.

All materials are due 15-Oct-2000. This deadline has been extended by 
two weeks from that published in the Astronomy Job register.
