Internships

The pmd*CRC and iVEC are collaborating to encourage and energise research in high performance computing and visualisation and its geological application through predictive mineral discovery.

iVEC and the pmd*CRC are pleased to be able to offer outstanding students (3rd year or higher) the chance to participate in their Intern Program.

Projects nominated should be aligned both with iVEC and with the pmd*CRC, and should utilise the iVEC facilities in Perth, Western Australia .

These will involve use of the iVEC visualisation facilities, and will aim also to use the iVEC high performance computing facilities. 3D visualisation is critical to developing the 3D architecture of the geology, and to interpreting the modelling results. High performance computing is critical to the
efficiency of running computational models which are complex both in their geological architecture,
and in the feedback between the relevant processes. Optimisation of those factors critical to mineralisation involves huge amounts of computing power. Collaboration will be promoted between iVEC and the pmd*CRC. Other collaborators are noted against each project. Projects may be more geological, physical, chemical, or IT related according to the skills of the student.

The next proposed period for an internship is July 1 2007 until June 30 2008 although some funds
are available now. These positions are fully funded by the pmd*CRC, iVEC and their partners.
