We have measured the 1{sub S}{sup 2}2p2{sup 2}P{sub 1/2}{minus}1s{sup 2}2s2{sup 2}S{sub 1/2} (first-excited state to ground state) transition energy in lithiumlike uranium (U{sup 89+}) to be 280.58{plus minus}0.13 eV using Doppler-tuned spectroscopy. This is a test of the calculation of the Lamb shift in the presence of more than one electron.
