Dear Employer:

I am currently looking for an industrial research and development position.
I anticipate completion of my Ph.D in Solid State Physics at Notre Dame this 
spring.  If needed, I would be willing to start work immediately and finish my 
degree while on the job.  My graduate research experience is in the areas of 
high-temperature superconductivity, cryogenics, millimeter microwaves, and 
computing.  I would enjoy working in any or all of these areas.  I am willing 
and interested in building on my solid state background to gain expertise in 
areas of more direct interest to an employer.  Occupations involving 
implementation of state of the art systems and technology and creative problem
solving appeal to me.

I am an enthusiastic researcher.  In the last two years, I have successfully 
designed, constructed, and commissioned an experimental facility for the 
measurement of millimeter microwave transmission and reflection of high-
temperature superconducting thin films.  The results are compared to a 
theoretical prediction using a recently proposed theory which describes the 
electromagnetic properties of the superconductor and an optical model to 
account for the substrate.  I have written extensive graphics, analysis, and 
least squares fitting programs in FORTRAN in conjunction with this project.

Contact me at either of the above telephone numbers or send mail to 
[moser@ndcvx.cc.nd.edu] for additional information or to arrange an interview.  
Thank you for your consideration.

My qualifications are summarized in the accompanying resume.
