       UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA AT NORWICH
                   SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Sea Ice Dynamics

Applications are invited for a Senior Research Associate to work on a 
NERC funded project on the dynamics of a large-scale sea ice pack with 
Professor L.W.Morland and Dr J.M.N.T.Gray in association with a group of 
faculty and research associates working on ocean modelling. The project 
is based on a two-dimensional model of the ice pack as an interface 
between atmosphere and ocean, which acts as both a mechanical and a
thermal barrier and has a significant influence on the ocean response to 
atmospheric forcing. The main objective is to couple the ice pack and 
ocean dynamics in a tractable numerical model. The work will involve the 
numerical treatment of systems of partial differential equations 
involving moving boundaries, but also further development of the 
interacting continua description of the ice pack layer involving phase 
change and salt flux.

The post is available for a period of 3 years commencing 1 April 1993, 
and the initial salary will be on the RA1A scale 12638-14962 pounds.
Preference will be given to applicants with  research experience in
theoretical mechanics and numerical methods.

Applications, naming two referees, should be sent to Professor 
L.W.Morland, School of Mathematics, University of East Anglia, Norwich 
NR4 7TJ, UK (Tel. 0603 592932; e-mail L.Morland@uk.ac.uea), by 1st 
February 1993.
