Job Opportunities at Cornell Astronomy

Undergrad Research Position - posted Jan. 14th, 2013

I'm seeking sophomore and/or junior astronomy/physics students
interested in getting involved in an astrophysical hunt for fossil
relics of the early universe, particularly, cosmic strings within
the halo of our own galaxy.

The work will involve building models of the stellar distribution of our
galaxy and then evaluating the rate at which relics distort the
stellar images.

Please email me chernoff@astro.cornell.edu with your background and
a resume.
