The Department of Physics at Montana State University (MSU) invites applications for a possible post-doctoral position in the field of gravitational wave astrophysics starting September 1, 2001, subject to availability of funding. The appointment is initially for one year and renewable for a second, dependent upon satisfactory performance and continued funding.

The successful candidate will work with the MSU Gravitational Wave Background project. Candidates with experience and interest in general relativity, gravitational waves, relativistic astrophysics, and cosmology are encouraged to apply. All candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Physics or a closely related field.
