Postdoctoral Research Position - Massive Stars Douglas R. Gies GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, P. O. Box 4106, Atlanta, Georgia 30302-4106, U.S.A. email:  gies@chara.gsu.edu Received: Nov 2, 2006;  Accepted: Jan 19, 2007 Attention: Douglas R. Gies, Professor Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position in the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) and Department of Physics and Astronomy at Georgia State University. The successful applicant will work with Dr. Douglas Gies and collaborators on observational and computational studies of massive stars. Current projects include spectroscopic and interferometric studies of massive binaries, Be stars, and rapidly rotating stars. Observational and/or computational experience in these areas would be useful. CHARA operates the CHARA Array, an optical/IR interferometer consisting of six 1.0-m telescopes, located at Mount Wilson, California. We expect the appointee will work at Mount Wilson most of the time and will partially support the research effort there. The initial appointment is for one year, renewable to a total of three years. Curriculum vitae, a bibliography, a one-page summary of research interests, and names of three references (plus contact information) should be sent to Professor Gies at the above address. The deadline for receipt of these materials is 31 January 2007. AAE/EEO.
