you helped me a lot, also on this. I am in touch with Hiroyuki Noda, let's see if he is really interested in.
Please, forward my best wishes to Rick and enjoy New Zealand (I am sure you will!),
Giulio

Sorry that I could not be of help on this matter although I did not want to miss such a nice opportunity. Hope you the best of luck.
I am leaving for New Zealand to attend Sibson symposium.
Best regards,
Toshi

<>Subject: Post-Doctoral position in experimental rock mechanics at INGV (Rome)
<> We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced researcher for a Post-Doctoral position at the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) in Rome (<http://www.ingv.it>www.ingv.it). A background in laboratory deformation experiments is desirable but not essential. The INGV monitors seismic and volcanic activity in Italy and was ranked the number one institution in volcanology and number three in seismology in terms of publication output during 2005 (worldwide enquiry by ISI Thomson). The INGV contains extensive laboratories, including world-class microscopic, geochemical and rock deformation facilities:

The successful applicant will join a large team of people with different backgrounds (structural geologists, geophysicists, physicists, engineers, experimentalists: <http://roma1.rm.ingv.it/laboratori/laboratorio-hp-ht/usems/the-people>http://roma1.rm.ingv.it/laboratori/laboratorio-hp-ht/usems/the-people) working on a European Research Council Starting Grant Project entitled 填 ncovering the Secrets of an Earthquake: Multidisciplinary Study of Physico-Chemical Processes During the Seismic Cycle�(USEMS, PI Giulio Di Toro). A summary of the USEMS project can be found at the end of this call. For further details
<http://roma1.rm.ingv.it/laboratories/hp-ht-lab/usems-project>http://roma1.rm.ingv.it/laboratories/hp-ht-lab/usems-project<>
One goal of the project is to investigate rock properties during the seismic cycle in the upper crust, including the extreme deformation conditions typical of seismic slip (displacements up to 20 m, slip rates up to 10 m/s and normal stresses > 40 MPa). To achieve this goal, the successful applicant will take a leading role in developing and utilizing a new rock deformation apparatus recently installed at INGV. The apparatus is a rotary-shear apparatus called SHIVA (Slow to HIgh Velocity Apparatus):
<http://roma1.rm.ingv.it/laboratories/hp-ht-lab/laboratori/laboratorio-hp-ht/usems/the-shiva-apparatus>http://roma1.rm.ingv.it/laboratories/hp-ht-lab/laboratori/laboratorio-hp-ht/usems/the-shiva-apparatus
that is designed to simulate seismic slip in the laboratory. <>
Applicants must have completed a PhD or expect to do so by 1 January 2010. The selection process for the position will commence on 31 December 2009. Salary and benefits for the applicant will be negotiated based on experience. The position will start commencing in March 2010 (or as soon as possible thereafter) and is expected to end in June 2013 (concomitant with the end of the USEMS project). Applicants without a PhD will be considered in very exceptional circumstances (i.e., sound knowledge of experimental techniques). <>
Applicants are invited to send the following material to Giulio Di Toro (<mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask]): <>
1) CV (4 pages max)
2) motivation letter (1 page max)
3) two recommendation letters. <>
