ON-LINE NEWS SERVICE
Lori Peek reports the following is published by the Center for
Science and Technology Policy Research, which is also located here at
the University of Colorado.
The January 2003 edition of Ogmius, the newsletter of the CIRES
Center for Science and Technology Policy Research, is now available
online at
http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/ogmius/. This edition of Ogmius features
a discussion of the greater role the humanities can play in public policy
debates.

ASLO REPORT ON LIMNOLOGY
A draft Executive Summary of the following report is available
on the ASLO website at:
http://www.aslo.org/announce/limnology.pdf
Emerging Research Issues for Limnology: The Study of Inland Waters
This report is the result of an ASLO and NSF-sponsored workshop
held in December 2002. The findings of the workshop will be
discussed at a Town Meeting held at 9:30, February 11th at the ASLO
meeting in Salt Lake City.

JOBS
NETHERLANDS The Centre for Estuarine and Marine Ecology (CEME) forms
the marine branch of the Netherlands Institute of Ecology
(NIOO-KNAW). The institute plays a
leading role in the research on marine and estuarine ecosystems in Europe.
To strengthen the Department of Ecosystems, the CEME has an opening
for a biogeochemical modeller (post-doc), specialized in the reactive
transport in
porous media.
The CEME has a strong tradition in modelling and seeks to extend
and improve its in-house reactive transport models of aquatic
sediments as part of the EU-funded project COSA. The candidate's main
task will be the development and application of 1D, 2D and 3D
numerical models of reactive transport in sandy sediments. These
models are then applied to address questions regarding the ecology
and biogeochemistry of intertidal ecosystems. Candidates should
preferably have an engineering/mathematical background, expertise in
numerical issues (finite differences, finite elements,
operator-splitting) and scientific programming (MATLAB, Fortran), and
naturally, a strong interest in marine biology and ecology. A PhD in the
modelling of reactive transport in sediments or groundwater systems
would be advantageous.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE FACULTY POSITION OPEN
The UMKC Department of Geosciences seeks applicants for a
tenure-track Assistant Professor of Environmental Science
(appointment effective for the fall 2003 semester). We seek an
applicant who can teach courses and direct research in environmental
science, applied geophysics, earth system science, hydrogeology, or
related fields. The ability to teach GIS is highly desirable.
Applicants should have broad interests in areas that contribute to
UMKC's bachelors to doctoral level degree programs in environmental
studies, geography, and geology. The successful candidate will be
expected to develop new courses for an expanded program in
environmental studies
Duties of regular faculty at UMKC include a substantial mix of
teaching, research, and service. The successful applicant will be
expected to generate external funds to support a dynamic research
program. The position requires a Ph.D. in geography, geology, or
related field. The department is housed in a new building on an
attractive wooded campus in mid-town Kansas City. Departmental
resources include direct access to Internet II and labs equipped for
GIS, remote sensing, climate modeling, sediment and soils analysis,
ICP, ICPMS and X-ray diffraction as well as a Geosciences Museum. The
world-class Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering and Technology
is located next door. Collaborative opportunities exist with the
Kansas City Life Sciences Initiative, Region 7 of the Environmental
Protection Agency, the U.S.G.S. Water Resources Division, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, and local geotechnical companies. Kansas
City is a relaxed and pleasant, but vibrant community forming the
core of a metropolitan area with a population of 1.8 million people.
Visit www.umkc.edu <http://www.umkc.edu/> for further details on the
department and UMKC.
Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, statements of
teaching, research and service interests, names and full contact
information for three professional references to Chair, Faculty
Search Committee, Department of Geosciences, Room 420, Flarsheim
Hall, University of Missouri-Kansas City, 5110 Rockhill Road, Kansas
City, MO 64110-2499, (816) 235-1334. Applications will be processed
as received and the position will remain open until filled. UMKC is
an equal opportunity affirmative action employer.

PhD STUDENT WANTED
From: maycira@ltid.inpe.br
I am looking to recruit a Ph.D. or a masters student with a
sound background or
interests in environmental science and remote sensing of water to work in my
research program. Students should have an aptitude for field and lab work and
some experience in remote sensing and water quality.
General idea of the project: I am developing a facility, in the University of
Victoria, BC, Canada, for investigating the spectral characteristics
of water in
lab and natural field conditions. The general idea is to understand effects of
individual optical constituents and mixtures of these constituents on the water
upwelling radiance. This will produce a spectral library of BC waters based on
field and lab measures. This research will (i) improve our understanding of the
in-water light field and how it varies with natural water optical constituents;
(ii) provide tools for investigating, monitoring, sourcing, and
tracking natural
and anthropogenic inputs to freshwater and near-shore marine
habitats; and (iii)
strongly contribute to the design of new satellite sensors to better monitor
inland and coastal waters. This research program is funded by NSERC.
Graduate students in Geography at UVic are guaranteed
departmental research &
teaching assistantships (totaling approx. $10,300 for Sept-April for years 1 &
2) and may be eligible for additional entrance scholarships, research
assistantships and awards (web.uvic.ca/grar/awards.html). Additional top-up
funding, research stipends and logistical support will be provided from NSERC
funds.

- Geography at UVic: www.geog.uvic.ca and our Graduate Program:

- UVic Graduate Studies & admission requirements: web.uvic.ca/gradstudies
Deadline for applications: The Departmental closing date for
applications is 15
February though applications will be accepted until 28 February. Interested
students should contact me directly via email or phone (250) 721-7334
in advance
and are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
