biological oceanography and marine geophysics exist.  Facilities include a new
274' research vessel, the THOMAS G. THOMPSON, remote sensing equipment, a
laboratory for geophysical fluid dynamics, and access to a wide range of
University facilities.  Complementing the School are:  the Applied Physics
Laboratory with active seagoing programs in mixing, polar sciences, and upper
ocean dynamics; the applied Mathematics Department with fluid dynamics resarch
programs; the Atmospheric Sciences Department with programs in general
circulation, global climate, and cloud physics; the Joint Institute for Study of
the Atmosphere and Ocean with programs in interannual climate variability, ENSO,
and ocean circulation modeling, and the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory
of NOAA with active tropical measurement and dynamics programs.

     Women and minority groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a one- or two-page statement of
current research interests, and the names of four people whom we may contact for

Subj:   Ocean Modeling Fellowships

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
Office of Programs, P.O. Box 3000, Boulder, CO  80307.  For
additional information, call the UCAR Office of Programs at
303-497-8649 or send e-mail to b.appelhans (OMNET) or
bappelha@unidata.ucar.edu.
The Divisions of Ocean Sciences and Polar Programs of NSF, and
the Ocean Science Directorate of the Office of Naval Research
sponsor the program.

                       Wetland or Marine Ecologist
The California Coastal Commission, a state planning and
regulatory agency, is seeking an ecologist to work on a long-term
marine resource mitigation project. The project, which is a
requirement of the Commission's permit for the San Onofre nuclear
power plant, involves designing, constructing, and monitoring the
restoration of 150 acres of southern California wetlands and the
creation of 300 acres of artificial reef. Southern California
Edison Company, the power plant operator, is responsible for the
design and construction work; the Commission is responsible for
monitoring and evaluating the project.
     The ecologist will work on an interdisciplinary team which
designs the mitigation project, monitors its performance, and
evaluates its effectiveness. Specific responsibilities include
designing a long-term sampling program, evaluating contractor
reports, providing advice on scientific issues, and working with
the Coastal Commission, Southern California Edison, and a
scientific advisory panel to achieve the project's objectives.
The ecologist could work either under a long-term contract or a
shorter-term post-doctoral assignment.
     A masters degree or a doctorate in marine biology, ecology,
or a related field is required. Preference will be given to
candidates with post-doctoral or professional experience in
wetland ecology and restoration and with strong analytical and
statistical skills.
