Applications for NCAR postdoctoral fellowships due 7 January:
Appointments announced for 1993Š94

NCARÕs Advanced Study Program offers postdoctoral and graduate 
fellowships for research at NCAR.  Applications for postdoctoral fellowships 
beginning in the summer or fall of 1994 are due           7 January 1994.

The postdoctoral program provides an opportunity for recent Ph.D. recipients 
to continue their research in the atmospheric sciences and related fields and 
to develop expertise in new areas. There are eight to ten openings. Interested 
scientists with no more than four years of applicable experience past the Ph.D. 
level are eligible. The graduate fellowship program applies primarily to Ph.D. 
thesis work. For information on the application procedure, contact Barbara 
McDonald (see page 15).  This yearÕs appointments, home institution, and 
field of interest are below.
