Dear Toshi,
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

1) CV (4 pages max)
2) motivation letter (1 page max)
3) two recommendation letters. <>

“Go my sons, buy stout shoes, climb the mountains, search the valleys,
the deserts, the sea shores, and the deep recess of the earth. Look for
the various kinds of minerals, note their characters and mark their origin.
Lastly, buy coal, build furnaces, observe and experiment without
ceasing, for in this way and in no other will you arrive at knowledge
of the nature and properties of things”.
Petrus Severinus (Peder Soerensen) naturalist, philosopher and physician (1542-1602)
