Research Associate in Debris-flow Dynamics

3 weeks ago


Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time

Applications are invited for an outstanding Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on a Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) funded project on “Debris-flow dynamics: Understanding phase separation and wave formation”. The post is part of an international team of researchers studying the spontaneous formation of waves in debris flows. Waves vastly concentrate the energy within a debris flow, and strongly enhance their destructive potential, yet very little is known about how they form and coarsen. The project is led by Professor Nico Gray and Dr Chris Johnson at The University of Manchester and involves collaboration with scientists in Switzerland who collect field data from the Ill graben debris-flow observation station. This interdisciplinary project will use a combination of small-scale experiments, field data, mathematical theory and numerical computations to understand how debris-flow waves form. The successful applicant will have a strong background in mathematics, physics, engineering or quantitative Earth sciences, and preferably some experience in performing experiments and/or analysing field data. She/he must have a PhD in a relevant discipline e.g. physics/geophysics or applied mathematics/mechanics, and a proven ability to publish research findings.
