Hey people - sorry I haven't done this in a while... I was stuck on a ship at 
0,140W measuring the underwater and surface-reflected light field.  Here are
a LOT of jobs, techs, staff scientists, faculty, headhunters looking for 
contractors, postdocs, grad students, directors, a program manager, even a
PR job for the Nature Conservancy.  Since I haven't posted Telemail jobs in
a while, there are a lot of these.  Some have already lapsed, in terms of the
application deadline for the posted jobs, but I included them anyway in case
you might want to do the blanket resume thing anyway.  These posts span
9/2 to 11/5, and this file is 127K in size.

I am not responsible for formatting, spelling, or grammar of the following
text.  These posts were gleaned from the jobs bulletin board of Omnet
(Sprintnet) Telemail, a for-pay service that is used by the majority of
oceanography investigators, at huge cost.  Why?  Because some clever MBA
marketed the idea to them.  At any rate, to respond to one of the posters of a
listed job, either send your resume to the surface mail address indicated, or 
send e-mail to the poster as (for example)
	aoml.miami@omnet.nasa.gov
and omnet.nasa.gov will gateway the mail to Telemail.  This has *not* been 
crossposted anywhere, so please forward it along if there is another good
place for it.

Subj:   RESEARCH SCIENTIST

			Research Scientist  


The Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (NOAA) is 
seeking to   
recruit a research scientist to study oceanic circulation and its influence on 
climatic variability.  The focus of this position is on the use of numerical 
models to analyze oceanographic data.  The incumbent will be required to 
write,   
to modify, and to maintain computer codes for modelling the ocean, for 
fitting 
oceanographic models to data, and for analyzing and quantifying the 
goodness of  
the fits.  He/she will be required to define and to conduct inverse-problem 
studies to determine optimal values of the models' inputs and whether or not  
the models adequately describe the ocean.  Formulation of specific research 
problems and determination of fruitful approaches for their solution, as well 
as execution of the research and publication of results in the scientific 
literature are essential aspects of the work.

The incumbent should possess expert knowledge of applied mathematics, in 
particular of numerical solution of partial-differential equations and 
numerical optimization, and extensive knowledge of fluid dynamics, in 
particular of geophysical and computational fluid dynamics, as well as 
general  
knowledge of physical oceanography and meteorology.  In addition he/she 
should 
be proficient at computer programming.  The incumbent should have highly 
developed verbal skills, both spoken and written, for writing successful 
proposal and for presenting research results, and should be capable of 
working 
as part of a research team.  His/her level of scientific sophistication should 
be equivalent to that of someone with a doctoral degree earned in the field of 
physical oceanography with experience in numerical modelling and solution 
of 
inverse problems.

This Federal Civil Service position may be filled at either GS-12 level 
(starting salary of $38,861 per year) or GS-13 level ($46,210 per year) 
depending upon qualifications.  There is potential for promotion to GS-15 
level.  To apply, submit resume, names and addresses of at least three 
professional references, and a completed form SF-171 to Dr. Carlisle

UNIVERSITY CORPORATION FOR ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH
1993 POSTDOCTORAL PROGRAM IN OCEAN MODELING

	Under sponsorship of the National Science Foundation and the Office
of Naval Research, UCAR and the ocean sciences community are offering
a postdoctoral program whose purpose is to help create the next
generation of broadly trained ocean modelers.  The program stresses
training as well as research.
Modeling is recognized by the oceanographic community as a key to
understanding ocean circulation, the exchange and feedback between the
ocean and the atmosphere, including ice covered regions, interactions
along the coastal/shelf boundaries, the biological and chemical
features of the ocean, and their linkage through the complete spectrum
of time and space scales within an entire global system.  One strategy
of this program is to approach these problems by pairing scientists of
diverse backgrounds.  The sponsors and the steering committee are
particularly interested in making appointments to:
%	fluid dynamicists, applied mathematicians, physicists, and
meteorologists as well as biological, chemical, and physical
oceanographers who wish to pursue dynamical modeling of the ocean.
%	physical ocean modelers who wish to pursue  models that incorporate
the chemistry and biology of the oceans.
%	scientists interested in developing fully interactive
ocean/atmosphere models.
 The UCAR program offers visiting research appointments of one year,
renewable for a second year.  A steering committee will select the
fellows and their host institutions.    UCAR strongly encourages
applications from women and minorities.  

%Prospective postdoctoral fellows should apply by sending a
		* resume
		*two-page statement of experience
		*two-page statement of research interests
		*the names and addresses of four professional 		
	references
A clear indication of the scientific areas to be pursued is
particularly important.  The applicant may wish to submit an abstract
describing the purpose and goals of the PhD thesis as well as a
description of the approach taken and results achieved.  

%	Prospective host scientists are encouraged to send a letter of
intent, describing the research activities and project areas that they
would recommend for the postdoctoral fellow.  Included in this letter
should be a description of current and pending funding.  
 Applications and reference letters must be submitted to UCAR by 15
January 1993.  Appointments of postdoctoral fellows and coordination
with institutions will be announced in the early spring.  Send
proposals to Meg Austin, Program Manager, UCAR Programs Office, P.O.
Box 3000, Boulder, CO  80307.  For additional information, call the
UCAR Programs Office at 303-497-8649 or send e-mail to b.appelhans

group will have a crucial role to play in designing, evaluating,
testing, and implementing changes to the WSR-88D human-computer
interface.

The Human Factors group will work on the OSF's WSR-88D System and
the Applications Branch's IBM RISC workstation.  Work on the WSR-
88D will focus on improvements to the current WSR-88D baseline. 
Work on the workstation will predominately explore the
capabilities, benefits, and techniques of new WSR-88D software and
hardware that may be added in the future.  Hence, the Human Factors
staff will need to have an understanding and appreciation for the
current operational use of the WSR-88D while having a vision of how
to apply new technology and display techniques to future versions
of the WSR-88D.  The staff will also remain in contact with field

1993 POSTDOCTORAL PROGRAM IN OCEAN MODELING

	Under sponsorship of the National Science Foundation and the Office
of Naval Research, UCAR and the ocean sciences community are offering
a postdoctoral program whose purpose is to help create the next
generation of broadly trained ocean modelers.  The program stresses
training as well as research.
Modeling is recognized by the oceanographic community as a key to
understanding ocean circulation, the exchange and feedback between the
ocean and the atmosphere, including ice covered regions, interactions
along the coastal/shelf boundaries, the biological and chemical
features of the ocean, and their linkage through the complete spectrum
of time and space scales within an entire global system.  One strategy
of this program is to approach these problems by pairing scientists of
diverse backgrounds.  The sponsors and the steering committee are
particularly interested in making appointments to:
%	fluid dynamicists, applied mathematicians, physicists, and
meteorologists as well as biological, chemical, and physical
oceanographers who wish to pursue dynamical modeling of the ocean.
%	physical ocean modelers who wish to pursue  models that incorporate
the chemistry and biology of the oceans.
%	scientists interested in developing fully interactive
ocean/atmosphere models.
 The UCAR program offers visiting research appointments of one year,
renewable for a second year.  A steering committee will select the
fellows and their host institutions.    UCAR strongly encourages
applications from women and minorities.  

%Prospective postdoctoral fellows should apply by sending a
		* resume
		*two-page statement of experience
		*two-page statement of research interests
		*the names and addresses of four professional 		
	references
A clear indication of the scientific areas to be pursued is
particularly important.  The applicant may wish to submit an abstract
describing the purpose and goals of the PhD thesis as well as a
description of the approach taken and results achieved.  

%	Prospective host scientists are encouraged to send a letter of
intent, describing the research activities and project areas that they
would recommend for the postdoctoral fellow.  Included in this letter
should be a description of current and pending funding.  
 Applications and reference letters must be submitted to UCAR by 15
January 1993.  Appointments of postdoctoral fellows and coordination
with institutions will be announced in the early spring.  Send
proposals to Meg Austin, Program Manager, UCAR Office of Programs,
P.O. Box 3000, Boulder, CO  80307.  For additional information, call

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 
02139 (Telephone: 617-253-5937; Fax: 617-253-6208; email: C. Wunsch 
(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-

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.

	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

	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
