Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Universität Bern Vollzeit

**PhD position in physical geography with a focus on cascading floods and river's geomorphic response to floods**
**100%**:
**Job description**:
Predicting the geomorphic response of rivers to floods and even identifying the driving and resisting variables that mediate this response have proven extremely challenging. However, particularly in mountain rivers, most significant flood-related damages are usually caused by morphological changes, like bank erosion and channel widening, sediment erosion and transport, and uprooted and transported trees and wood accumulated at bridges.
Therefore, a sound flood hazard and risk assessment must consider these cascading processes, and their quantification is vital for river management. However, their large variability in space and time, complex nature, and the interplay between the several controlling factors make them hardly predictable.
This project aims to improve the fundamental understanding of such cascading processes and the geomorphic response of rivers to floods, to assess better and mitigate related hazards and risks and inform sustainable environmental policies. To do so, a broad range of techniques will be combined, including field-based research, remote sensing, and numerical modelling.

**Requirements**:
A requirement for this position is a good base in fluvial processes (e.g., sediment dynamics) and fluvial geomorphology. The work will require fieldwork in selected rivers mostly in Switzerland.
Knowledge in geomorphic processes monitoring, statistics, GIS, and remote sensing are advantages.
Excellent skills in written and oral English are required.

Starting date: September 2023 (flexible)
Position duration: 4 years
Level of activity: 100%
Work location: Bern, Institute of Geography (GIUB)

**Application documents**:
Motivation letter, Curriculum Vitae, copy of university degrees certificates and transcripts of marks awarded, and an electronic version of research output (MSc thesis, research report, proceedings paper, or other scientific publication).

Application deadline: 30th July or until the position is filled
