Postdoctoral Researcher: Multihazard Risk Assessment
2 days ago
About the Job:
The University of Edinburgh seeks a postdoctoral researcher to work on multihazard risk assessment in the Himalaya. This 24-month position is part of an interdisciplinary project focusing on dynamic risk generated by sediment cascades from landslides, debris flows, and river flooding.
The successful candidate will develop and apply advanced numerical models to explore the interactions between these processes. This role involves working closely with the project team to design and implement research experiments and analyse results.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and implement research experiments using numerical models
- Analyse spatial data to understand hazard and risk patterns
- Develop and maintain relationships with stakeholders and collaborators
- Communicate research findings through publications and presentations
We Offer:
A competitive salary of £40,247-£47,874 (Grade UE07)
This opportunity allows the successful candidate to contribute to a large-scale project focused on advancing knowledge and understanding of multihazard risk assessment in the Himalaya.
Requirements:
- PhD in a relevant field (e.g., geoscience, civil engineering, computer science)
- Experience with numerical modelling and data analysis software
- Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, R)
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills
How to Apply:
Please submit your CV, cover letter, and contact information for two academic referees.
