Ocean Sciences jobs from 11-1 thru 12-8.  To reply to one of the posters,
use (for example) r.somerville@omnet.nasa.gov to get a message through
the gateway, or just send a resume.  Lots of jobs here for techs, grad
students, postdocs, administrators,  faculty, there's one for a Dean at
Old Dominion, a science librarian, an aquarium director, a couple of
openings in the German Space Agency, and I even think there's one in here
for a program manager.  Don't let the fact that these are all in the ocean 
sciences keep you from reading... lots of these people need programmers
and computer scientists more than anything to cope with data glut.

I'm not responsible for mispellings or poor formatting... I just grab these
from Omnet and shoot them here.  Please repost this list on your favorite 
department bulletin-board.

This list is posted in 3 parts.

We are seeking to appoint two researchers to work on the development of 
ocean climate models. 
 
Applications are invited for a RESEARCH SCIENTIST (post-doctoral and 
beyond) to work on a combination of ocean climate models and acoustic 
(tomographic) and other types of data.  The individual would work on 
constraining and analyzing large scale (basin to global) numerical 
circulation models with acoustical integrals for studying climate change.  
Oceanographic experience is essential; a knowledge of statistical 
estimation (inverse, etc.) methods and models is desirable.  Contact:  
Prof. C. Wunsch, Room 54-1524, Department of Earth, Atmospheric and 
Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA

(Omnet), or carl@pond.mit.edu (Internet)).  
 
Applications are also invited for a COMPUTER PROGRAMMER to master-mind the 
coding of a new numerical model of the global ocean circulation to be 
implemented on both vector and parallel machines. The model will be 
developed in both data-parallel FORTRAN and, more experimentally, in an 
implicitly parallel language for implementation on fine-grained parallel 
processors at the forefront of computer architectures.  The successful 
applicant will work with a group of Physical Oceanographers in the 
Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences but maintain a 
strong working link with experts in parallel computer architecture and 
languages in the Laboratory for Computer Sciences at MIT.  An interest in, 
and experience with, atmospheric or oceanographic models is very 
desirable.  Contact: Professor John Marshall, Room 54-1526, Department of 
Earth Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology ,Cambridge, MA 02139  (Telephone 617-253-9615; Fax: 617-253-

These appointments should be taken up at the earliest opportunity. Salary 
is negotiable.  Anyone interested should forward a curriculum vitae and 
the name of two referees.  MIT is an affirmative action, equal opportunity 
employer.

PLEASE POST
November 1992
 
          RESEARCH TECHNICIAN AND GRADUATE STUDENT
 
	One research technician and two graduate students are needed to
for a laboratory and field based biological oceanographic research
program which is part of the CANADIAN JOINT GLOBAL OCEAN FLUX STUDY
(Canadian-JGOFS). The primary objectives of our research are (1) to
investigate the effect of the structure of the pelagic food web on the
fates of new and regenerated primary production and (2) to quantify the
flux and determine fate of carbon from microbial populations into and
through micro-and macrozooplankton.  
 
	The program will be based from the Ocean Sciences Centre (OSC) of
Memorial University of Newfoundland. The OSC is located on Logy Bay,
about 10 kilometers from the Memorial University of Newfoundland campus.
This well-equipped 4000 m2 laboratory complex has excellent analytical
and flowing seawater facilities and operates a coastal research vessel.
Memorial University has a student body of 17,500, a medical school and a
library system with 2.5 million volumes. The university is located in
St. John's (pop. 125,000) the provincial capital of Newfoundland and the
oldest city in North America. It is anticipated that the cruises will be
in the North Atlantic, Gulf of St. Lawrence and Equatorial Pacific. 
 
                               RESEARCH TECHNICIAN
 
	Duties include chemical analysis of biological material, culturing
and performing experiments with marine microorganisms, performing
routine laboratory procedures, analyzing experimental data, maintaining
related records and performing other related duties as required. The
position will require use of radioisotopes and stable isotopes and
participating in extended research cruises. Graduation from a four-year
college or university with a major degree in biology, marine science or
chemistry, experience working in a research laboratory and familiarity
with the computer analysis of data are required. Experience using
radioisotopes, stable isotopes and familiarity with light and
epifluorescence microscopy, working on-board ship and graduate level
course work are highly desirable. Preference will be given to citizens
and permanent residents of Canada.
 
 
 
Salary 				$26,000-28,000 (plus benefits)

	I have funded positions available starting January 1993 for graduate
students (M.Sc and Ph.D) to work on the physiological ecology of
phytoplankton and bacterioplankton. Of particular interest is the flux
of energy and material from bacteria and phytoplankton to higher trophic
levels. Graduation from a four-year college or university with a major
degree in biology or marine science or chemistry is required.
Familiarity with one or more of the following is desirable: culturing
microorganisms, light and epifluorescence microscopy, the use of
radioactive and stable isotopic tracers and working on board research
vessels.

graduate students.  The University is located in Norfolk, one of
seven cities making up the Hampton Roads region of Virginia, a major
seaport and recreation area with a population in excess of 1.4 million
people.  The Norfolk Naval Base, the largest naval base in the world,
is three miles from the campus.  Major federal research installations
that focus upon space, aeronautics, oceanography, and nuclear physics
are nearby.

The College of Sciences consists of the departments of Biological
Sciences, Chemistry and biochemistry, Computer Science, Geological
Sciences, Mathematics and statistics, Oceanography, Physics, and
Psychology.  The College offers a wide range of undergraduate and
graduate programs, including doctoral programs in nine areas.  A full-
