I am a mechanical engineer with a M.Sc.E currently searching for a 
permanent position or contract.  My research experience is in 
dynamic finite element analysis (FEA) and design optimization.  I wish 
to find work in the aerospace (or similar) industry using CAE in 
research, design and analysis applications.  Alternately I am willing
to consider all other types of work related to the area of mechanical 
engineering.

Positions may be considered in either Canada, U.S.A., etc.. (ie ANYWHERE!)

I am legally authorized to work in the following countries:
	1/. CANADA 		- citizenship
	2/. U.S.A 		- permanent residence admission status
	3/. GREAT BRITAIN 	- citizenship

Available to start ===> IMMEDIATELY!!!

If you know of a suitable position, or just someone that may, please 
reply to this E-mail or the mail address listed:
