Summary: Specialist in bioacoustics and lang. processing looks for job...

Dear Sirs,

Please, help me to find a proper job place!

I am mathematician and I have graduated Moscow Institute of Physics and
Technology in 1987, as specialist in computer modelling in biology. My
diploma work was "Thermoregulation of the human skin math simulation" and
I have nine publications in this area. Since I had graduated the
institute I worked in Lab. of surdotechniques in R.I. of Defectology where
was writing software for neurophysiological experiment and incorrect
(in sense of Hadamard) problems decision. After death of my chief I moved
in 1989 to Lab. of Bioacoustics in the Institute of Evolutionary Morphology
and Animal Ecology where I work as leading engineer providing bioacoustical
experiments with dolphins (the most popular Tursiops truncatus ponticus) and
northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus). So, you see, I have some experience
in biology. Last summer I has carried out all experiment including animal
training and rehabilitation alone. But I would like to start research
instead pure engineer work. I speak English rather well and German a bit.
Also I speak several other languages in different level (Czech, Swedish etc).
I am 28 y.o. and are open for new areas of biology if the work is interesting,
and I would prefer to work in area of animal communication or math simulation.
But to be honest  I need a chief who could make me to organize my research
work to get concrete applicable results. As a programmer I program in C++
and C, started from Fortran IV and IBM 360 Assembler but it was too long time
ago. I would appreciate any advise and/or information or spreading my records
among your colleagues.
                                Sincerely yours,
                                        Igor Kostarnov.
