**GRADUATE STUDENT OPPORTUNITY IN CLIMATOLOGY**

[Yijun Xu]

Dear Dr Jackson,

  My name is Yi-Jun Xu. I come from the People's Republik of China and
have been living in Germany unbroken since the end of 1984. I received
my B.Sc. from the Forestry University of Peking in 1982, my M.Sc. and 
Ph.D from the University of Goettingen in Germany in 1987 and 1991. 

  Since 1991 I have been working as a research scientist at the Institute
for Soil Science and Forest Nutrition of the University of Goettingen in 
the field of water modelling and element budgeting of forest ecosystems.
I am very interested in finding a permanent/temporary position in
CANADA in the research area of MODELING of HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES and
ELEMENT BUDGETING in FOREST ECOSYSTEMS, but any other topics in Soil
Chemistry and Soil Physics could be interesting for me. (Further details
about my qualification and working experiences have been enclosed in 
this mail).

 I am just desire to know whether there would be any possibilities to
work in your research fields. I would much be pleasant if you would be
kind enough to send me further details about it. If you have other
plans yourselves, but know of other scientists who employ themselves
in the mentioned research area at the University of Northern British
Columbia or you known institutes, I would be most grateful if you 
would send their addresses to me.

  I should be pleased to supply references and any further details 
you might require.

  Thanks a lot in advance.

Yours fauthfully

Yi-Jun Xu
