> To whom it may concern, my name is Antonella Longo, working at 
> the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, in Pisa 
> (Italy). My group is recruiting young graduated students to work on 
> the development of a FSI numerical code.
>
> The research contract is provided in the frame of an European 
> Community Project, called NEMOH (www.nemoh-itn.eu 
> <http://www.nemoh-itn.eu/>), that is coordinated by our group in Pisa.
>
> The strict rule that candidates must fit is that they must not 
> have otained a Ph.D, and that  less than 4 years passed since the 
> obtaining of the title that gives access to the Ph.D in there country 
> of residence and study.
>
> The pdf of the NEMOH brouchure is available here "NEMOH brochure 
> <http://www.hpc.cineca.it/sites/default/files/brochure_nemoh_hr.pdf>" , and 
> the project leaflet is available here "project leaflet 
> <http://www.hpc.cineca.it/sites/default/files/locandina.pdf>". Very 
> briefly, NEMOH is a network of highly qualified European fellowship 
> positions, including 13 partners from 8 European countries. The focus 
> is on quantitative volcanology, including numerical modelling and 
> simulation of fluid-structure (magma-rock) interaction dynamics. The 
> network will organize during next 4 years a number of activities 
> including background and specialized schools, short courses, blind 
> test exercises, etc. Other specialized courses are offered at the 
> local level. The official language is obviously English.
>
> Any additional information is on the project website:www.nemoh-itn.eu 
> <http://www.nemoh-itn.eu/>
>
> Regarding the net income of the successfully recruited student, 
> this will be in the range 2800 - 3000 euros per month (the gross 
> salary is > 50,000 euros per year). The position we are offering is 
> for a three-year employment. A Ph.D position in Geophysics is also 
> offered to interested students (but not mandatory in the contract), 
> subject to separate evaluation (we've set up a specific agreement with 
> the University for that).
>
> The student will spend from 3 to 10 months (to be agreed upon 
> with him/her) out of three years at other institutions in Italy or 
> abroad (even at your institute, what would be great!)
>
> Regarding the numerical code to be developed, this will represent 
> an extension of the GALES code that I have developed during last 
> years. GALES (GAlerkin LEast Squares) is based on the papers n.X by 
> Shakib,  Hughes and Johan (CMAME, 1991) and Hauke and Hughes (CMAME, 
> 1998). It is solved in primitive pressure variables, with a 
> Newton-Raphson iteration. I attach in the successive mail the last two 
> paper we have produced (they are too large to be sent within this 
> mail). A series of classic benchmarks solved with GALES can be found 
> at http://www.pi.ingv.it/~longo/gales/gales.html 
> <http://www.pi.ingv.it/%7Elongo/gales/gales.html>.
>
> The code developments to be performed should include 
> fluid-structure interaction, and make the code able to solve the 
> coupled dynamics of magma and country rocks in volcanic environments 
> (besides being first validated on classic benchmarks from the general 
> literature). That would allow us to directly relate geophysical 
> signals measured at volcanoes (ground displacements, seismicity, 
> gravity changes, tilt variations, etc.) to underground magma dynamics, 
> providing us with a state-of-the-art method to interpret pre-eruptive 
> observations and forecast volcanic hazards.
>
> The skills needed for the code development are the knowledge 
> of numerical analysis, C++ object oriented programming, MPI and meta 
> programming template. In case you need further information, do not 
> hesitate to contact me (longo a pi.ingv.it <mailto:longo a pi.ingv.it>) .
