28-1-2015 Postdoctoral position in Computational Fluid Dynamics on Ice Production in turbulent sea
Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Aerospaziali
Politecnico di Milano
Milano, Italy

A postdoctoral position is going to be offered for a research study on the dynamics of sea ice. No teaching charges are involved in the position. Specific arguments to be treated in the research:
- Modelling and numerical simulation of ice production in sea turbulent waters.
- Impact of sea-ice on the dynamics of waves.

The candidate will be involved in a collaboration between Politecnico di Milano, CNR-ISAC and the University of Cambridge, funded within the PNRA project PANACEA. Local person responsible for the research: Antonella Abbà, Politecnico di Milano. Preference will be given to candidates holding a Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Mathematics,
Engineering or equivalent. The ideal candidate will have a solid background in Computational Fluid Mechanics. The position is intended for one year. The net salary can be expected to be approx. 1570 euro per month. Health insurance and social security included in the contract. Information about the call will be available at the link http://www.polimi.it/en/work-with-us/collaborazioni-di-ricerca/research-grants/
For further information, please contact Antonella Abbà (antonella.abba@polimi.it).

How to reach us:

Arrival at the Sandro Pertini Airport

The Sandro Pertini International Airport (Torino Caselle) is daily connected with the major European capitals and Italy's major cities by a number of different airlines. A public bus service leaves every 15 minutes from the airport to downtown Torino (taking about 40 minutes) from early morning until midnight. From the airport to the city: terminal at the Arrivals level in front of domestic/EU flight gate. From the city to the airport: terminal near the Porta Nuova Railway Station (corner of via Sacchi and corso Vittorio Emanuele).

 

Arrival at the Porta Nuova Railway Station

On foot: exit the station on the left side and cross the street (via Sacchi) to its right side, under the arcade. Go straight on till you reach the T junction with corso Stati Uniti and turn right into this street. The third major crossroad is corso Duca degli Abruzzi, where you turn left. Approximately 100 metres into this street, you will find the main entrance to the Politecnico on the right.

By bus: proceeding as for "on foot", you will find the terminus of the No. 33 line near the corner of via Sacchi. The fifth stop of this busline leaves you at the main entrance to the Politecnico in corso Duca degli Abruzzi.

 

Arrival at the Porta Susa Railway Station

On foot: exiting the station, you will find yourself in piazza XVIII Dicembre. Go straight on directly in front of you (via Cernaia) and at the first major crossroad turn right into corso Vinzaglio. After approximately one kilometre, corso Vinzaglio becomes corso Duca degli Abruzzi. The Politecnico is situated not far beyond the junction with corso Stati Uniti, on the right hand side of corso Duca degli Abruzzi.

By bus: exiting the station, you will find a city bus stop directly in front of you. Take the No. 10 line that goes towards via Cernaia. Getting off at the fourth stop leaves you at the main entrance to the Politecnico.
