Research Fellow in Multi-hazard Risk and Resilience Modelling
4 weeks ago
About us
The UCL Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering is one of the top research and teaching departments in the UK and has world-class standing. The Department has an extensive research portfolio across a wealth of areas and has consistently been among the best funded such departments in the UK. The research carried out in the department reflects a broad multidisciplinary view of the engineering world and encompasses navigation of space shuttles and control of observation satellites, to tunnelling beneath the planet's surface, for example. Research projects and centres span disciplines to provide new and innovative solutions and thinking that refers back to the human and the applied. The DE|RISC Lab (Disaster Engineering for Resilient SoCieties Laboratory) within CEGE works at the intersection of civil engineering and other disciplines to facilitate multi-hazard risk- and resilience-informed decision-making for a bet ter tomorrow's world. The ultimate goal is to provide society with a safer and more resilient, sustainable and equitable built environment.
About the role
The Horizon Europe Minority Report (Mitigating environmental disruptive events using people-centric predictive digital technologies to improve disaster and climate resilience) project aims to develop and implement an end-to-end people-centred computational framework (and accompanying technology platform) to design and test resilience- and sustainability-increasing strategies for the built environment. The Research Fellows will contribute to developing the Minority Report computational framework, mainly through the project's techno-scientific stream: "Multi-hazard Risk Modelling, Quantification & Mitigation". This will include: 1) modelling physical impacts of multiple (including hydrometeorological and climatological) hazards, involving the quantification of effects on individual assets/infrastructure components (e.g., buildings) as well as network-level and distributed-system disruptions; 2) modelling the social consequenc es of multi-hazards, also accounting for possible interactions with impacts on the built environment; 3) defining and characterising relevant risk and resilience metrics (e.g., education accessibility, unemployment, recovery time per income) that extend beyond simple asset losses considered as part of conventional risk assessment approaches. This role is offered on a fixed-term contract basis for one year, with the possibility of extension by up to another year.
About you
The ideal candidate for this position should have a PhD degree in Multi-Hazard Disaster Risk Engineering or a related field such as Civil or Structural Engineering. The candidate must have knowledge of and experience in developing and applying appropriate techniques/approaches for end-to-end disaster-related risk assessments and mitigation, with particular emphasis on hydrometeorological and climatological hazards and integration of both physical and social systems. The candidate must also have exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively convey complex or technical information to a diverse audience. The ability to thrive in multi- and interdisciplinary research environments is a key requirement for this role.
