Two Phd Positions in Modelling Impacts of Surface

vor 3 Wochen


Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Universität Bern Vollzeit

**Two PhD positions in modelling impacts of surface water floods for developing impact-based warning systems**
**100 %**:
Institute of Geography, University of Bern
Start of employment: 1.6.2024 / Duration: 3.5 or 4 years

Tasks
- Position 1: Physical modelling
- Position 2: Vulnerability and stakeholder involvement

For this position we are looking for a person with interest in combining data science, vulnerability re-search, and stakeholder knowledge. To develop user-targeted and impact-based early warning systems, the vulnerability of socio-economic systems or infrastructure against natural hazards must be studied. Location-based thresholds of hydrometeorological parameters exceeding the vulnerability of infrastruc-ture must be defined and the impact to infrastructure must be modelled. To define user-targeted impact warning messages, the hazard parameters and the related vulnerability must be linked with mitigation measures listed in the contingency plans of the infrastructure operators. Together with stakeholders, modelling systems and decision-making systems are aligned with the developed impact-based warning system.
The research foci of the two PhD positions are complementary and the PhDs are expected to collaborate closely with each other.

**Requirements**:
We offer

The expected starting date is 1.6.2024 with some flexibility and the positions (100% working contract, salary follows University of Bern regulations) are available for a duration of 3.5 years with the possibility to extend to a maximum of 4 years.
- Interested?

The University of Bern encourages an inclusive culture. Applications from qualified women are highly encouraged.
