The Department of Astrophysical Sciences, Princeton University (USA)
invites applications for graduate studies in the field of
Astrophysics starting in the Fall 2009. Graduate students are
expected to take courses in Astrophysics and related sciences and
carry out original research in observational and/or theoretical
astrophysics under the supervision of Princeton faculty. The deadline
for applications is December 1, 2008.

The department provides financial support through a combination of
fellowships and research and teaching assistantships through the duration
of the graduate program (up to 5 years of study). In addition to the
monthly stipend, there is a travel grant which can be used for travel
to conferences, observing sites, etc.

Department faculty and researchers include Neta Bahcall (large-scale
structure, clusters of galaxies), Adam Burrows (supernovae, planetary
and stellar atmospheres), Renyue Cen (cosmological simulations),
Christopher Chyba (solar system), Bruce Draine (interstellar dust,
interstellar medium), Jeremy Goodman (dynamics, gamma-ray bursts,
accretion disks, scintillation), J. Richard Gott (cosmology, general
relativity), James Gunn (cosmology, large-scale structure,
astronomical instrumentation), Edward Jenkins (ultraviolet astronomy,
interstellar and intergalactic medium), Gillian Knapp (stars, brown
dwarfs, interstellar medium), Russell Kulsrud (primordial magnetic
fields, plasma physics), Robert Lupton (data analysis, statistical
methods, precision photometry), Jeremiah P. Ostriker (formation and
evolution of galaxies and large-scale structure), Roman Rafikov
(planet formation, planetary dynamics, high-energy astrophysics),
David Spergel (CMB, particle astrophysics, cosmology, galaxy
dynamics, planets), Anatoly Spitkovsky (neutron stars, plasma
astrophysics), James Stone (MHD, star formation), Michael Strauss
(large-scale structure, quasars), and Edwin Turner (gravitational
lenses, planets), as well as 15-20 postdoctoral fellows, and strong
research groups in the Physics Department and at the nearby Institute
for Advanced Study.

Observational facilities available to the members of the Department
of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton include the Apache Point
Observatory, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Wilkinson Microwave
Anisotropy Probe, the Subaru telescope, and the Atacama Cosmology
Telescope. Members of the department have access to state-of-the-art
supercomputing facilities both on campus
(http://tigress.princeton.edu/) and at national centers.
