Dear colleagues The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, Pisa Section, has announced an open position for a postdoctoral fellowship titled "Assessment of Volcanic Hazard", funded by the following research project: "Multiparametric Networks, Development of early warning systems and quantitative models for assessing the hazard and risk of Stromboli".
Interested candidates may submit their applications following the procedure explained in the documents attached. The original call is in Italian, but an English translation is provided. Speaking Italian is not required.
*The deadline for applications is December 16, 2023. *
Future updates will be found at the following link: https://istituto.ingv.it/it/amministrazionetrasparente/bandi-di-concorso/ass... [BANDO PISA N. 5/2023].
The research activities envisaged during the fellowship will focus on the "Quantitative assessment of volcanic hazard through mathematical models, probabilistic analyses, and techniques for uncertainty quantification", including: 1. Estimation of the occurrence probability of volcanic phenomena. 2. Numerical models of hazardous phenomena in explosive volcanism. 3. Mapping volcanic hazard with uncertainty quantification.
*Candidates must have completed a Ph.D.*
The research group into which the successful candidate will be integrated possesses expertise spanning from numerical modeling of volcanic processes to hazard estimation using statistical and mathematical models, as well as the collection and analysis of volcanological data and related uncertainties. During the fellowship, there will be encouragement for both deepening and enhancing the candidate's field of expertise and their integration and growth within a multidisciplinary and stimulating environment.
Duration: 12 months, with the possibility of an extension. Start date: January 2024, with possible flexibility. Best wishes Andrea Bevilacqua
