International geophysical year developments and opportunities

OPPORTUNITIES exist in the Antarctic program planned by the U. S. National Committee for the International Geophysical Year (IGY) 1957–58, for scientists, engineers, and technicians at the bachelors, masters, and doctorate levels of training and experience in physics, geophysics, electronics, or closely allied areas. The IGY is a study of the physics of the earth in which more than 50 nations are collaborating. The U. S. Antarctic program emphasizes the following fields: Aurora and Airglow, Cosmic Rays, Glaciology, Gravity, Ionospheric Physics, Meteorology, and Seismology. Most of the current openings exist in the fields of meteorology and glaciology, although the other fields still require a limited number of specialists.
