The authorities are unanimous on this point.

Kurt Stone, ch.1, "Placement of Dynamics...", p.31:
  "A. Dynamics
      1. INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC (SCORES AND/OR PARTS)
         Single staves with two or more polyphonic parts:
         at the stem side of the up- and downstemmed parts."

Ted Ross, ch.4, "SHARING A STAFF", p.205:
  "If [the voices] move independently of each other, each
  part may require its own dynamics, above and below the
  staff."

Gardner Read, ch.14, "NOTATIONAL PRACTICES", p.253:
  "The general rule is, of course, altered should there be
  inadequate room because of elements [...] related to the
  staff just below, or when different dynamic markings
  affect two voices written on one staff..."
