Dear Keith and Phil

I have now talked with Dorthe and she came up with the splendid idea 
that I should apply for money for two years - one at CRU and one in 
Copenhagen - a slightly revised draft application is therefore attached.

Cheers....Bo



Dear Keith and Phil

As you can see below the chances that our Marie Curie proposal will get 
funded are rather slim....hence - as I really want to spend the next 
year working with you at CRU - I have drafted the attached application 
for Carlsberg-funding for a one year research stay at CRU.
The draft is a shortened (max. 2 pages for Carlsberg-applications) and 
modified version of the Marie Curie application - its modified to 
include work on my recent finding (chapter 5 in my Ph.D. dissertation - 
also attached), that elevation change of the Greenland ice sheet is very 
likely to blame for the disagreement between delta-O18 and borehole 
temperatures during the Holocene!

The deadline for Carlsberg-aapplications is the 2nd of october - hence 
if you like the new application I have made, I will rather urgently need 
you to mail/fax me a letter that states your willingness to house me at 
CRU in 2007 (Carlsberg pays my salary, travel and accommodation - but no 
overheads at all) and a recommendation of the project. I will get Sigfs 
and Dorthe to write letters of support as well....
I apologize for writing you this late - but I have been busy preparing 
my Ph.D.-defence until a week ago (I had my defence just in time for the 
Marie Curie 18/9 deadline - just in case....) so I simply have not had a 
draft to mail you before this weekend....

Cheers......Bo





Hi Bo.

You are now number six on the reserve list as was able to open negotiations
today with number one.  On the basis of our expected savings (our budget for
those we are in negotiation with are usually overestimated by around 5% to
be safe). If this 'saving' of 5% on average continues, we are hoping to get
through another 3 on the reserve list by the end of October. What happens to
the remaining reserve list then largely depends on whether people drop out
of negotiations if they find other jobs in the meantime.

No guarantees then. Very sorry for the uncertainty. In any case ALL our
negotiations have to be finished by December chen the budget for this
programme is closed.

Good news is that a new programme shd be announced in January...

Best wishes,

JANE
