Dear All, As a hydrologist I have been involved in the environmental studies for 6 years. Since April 1995 I have been working as a Research Assistant in Environmental Radioactivity Research Centre of the University of Liverpool under the supervision of Dr. P.G. Appleby. My main experience for this period has been radiometric dating (Pb-210, Cs-137 and Am-241) of recent lake, estuarine and salt marsh sediments as well as dating of peat accumulation in bogs. I am responsible for gamma spectrometry analysis of sediment samples using ORTEC HPGe well and coaxial detectors and calculation of sediment chronology and accumulation rates by Pb-210 CRS and CIC models. My current contract with the University of Liverpool is arranged for the short period under Academic Visitors' Scheme and expires on 19 August 1996. So I am looking for an opportunity to continue this kind of work. Though I would be interested in any other offers of employment, as I have programming experience in Pascal, Fortran, Visual Basic for Applications and FoxPro. I can provide my CV and references on request. Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours sincerely, Vladimir Kirnitshnyi _______________________________ Vladimir Kirnitshnyi Department of Mathematical Sciences The University of Liverpool Liverpool PO BOX 147 L69 3BX UK
