Job and Fellowship Opportunities
GFDL VISITOR
OPPORTUNITY
The University Corporation
for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) is recruiting postdoctoral scientists
and short-term senior visitors to work in Princeton, New Jersey at NOAA's
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) as part of the Climate
Change Research Initiative (CCRI). GFDL conducts fundamental and applied
oceanic and atmospheric research on a variety of problems of importance
to society and central to NOAA's mission. In the past several years,
GFDL has reorganized to develop a new generation of climate and Earth
system models to support its research for the coming decade. GFDL expects
some of these new postdoctoral positions to evolve into permanent civil
service hires as it expands its staff in the next several years. These
positions are intended to expedite the development of this new generation
of climate models, as well as the climate change research conducted
with them. Specific areas identified as priorities for postdoctoral
positions are detailed at www.vsp.ucar.edu,
including the full text announcement. Application deadlines are 15 January
and 15 July. Applications are reviewed twice yearly by a steering committee.
Send to UCAR/VSP, PO Box 3000, Boulder, CO 80307-3000 USA. For more
information, contact 1-303-497-8649 or send email to vsp@ucar.edu.
UCAR is an equal opportunity employer.

POGO: PROJECT ON GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT
POGO
is an internship program for those who want to learn how to use the
tools available for citizens to research government and corporations
and observe how Washington works. POGO's interns assist in researching
government subservience to special interest groups. Sometimes the intern's
research culminates in a POGO report. They also write opinion pieces
for media release and assist in writing testimony for Congressional
hearings. POGO is not looking for an intern to have a specific major,
but is looking for individuals who are creative, self-motivated, inquisitive,
and concerned about justice. POGO has interns all year; fall semester
is from September-December; spring semester January-May. POGO has no
application deadline, but due to the number of applicants it is advised
that you apply as soon as possible. Write to Seth Morris, Research Assistant/Intern
Coordinator, POGO, 666 11th St. NW, Washington, DC 20001, tel: 1-202-347-1122;
fax: 1-202-347-1116; email seth@pogo.org,
