The Institut d'Astronomie et de Geophysique Georges Lemaitre of the
Universite Catholique de Louvain in Belgium invites applications for a
postdoctoral fellowship in 3-D modelling of the sea-ice ocean system and
biogeochemical cycles in the southern ocean.

The successful candidate will be in charge of the physical component of
the model but will also take part in the coupling between the physical
and biogeochemical modules as well as in the analyses of the results of
the coupled model.

The research will be in collaboration with the Universite Libre de
Bruxelles, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the Musee Royal d'Afrique
Centrale, and the Universite de Liege in the framework of a new project
funded by Belgian Science Policy.

The postdoctoral fellowship is for twelve months. Suitable candidates
should have a Ph.D. in physical oceanography, atmospheric science,
applied mathematics, or a related discipline.

Applications should include a detailed curriculum vitae, a letter
describing relevant experience and research interests, and two letters
of recommendation. Review of applications will begin Wednesday, 1 March
2006 and will continue until a candidate is selected.

Application materials and questions should be sent to:
