Davos, Graubünden, Schweiz Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL Vollzeit CHF 100'000 - CHF 120'000 pro Jahr

As a Rockfall Engineering Scientist, you will advance the understanding of rockfall processes, including contact mechanics, energy dissipation, fragmentation, and interactions with different forest types and technical mitigation measures. Your research will strengthen hazard assessment and risk mitigation by enhancing rockfall protection strategies and optimizing natural hazard management in the context of global change.

You will develop innovative research projects, secure third-party funding, and lead studies both independently and in collaboration with implementation partners and researchers within and beyond WSL. Your role will also involve supervising students, publishing in scientific and applied journals, presenting at leading conferences, and contributing to the practical application of your findings. Through these efforts, you will play a key role in shaping the future of rockfall research on both national and international level.

You have a strong background in Engineering, Geophysics, Geosciences, or a related field and hold a PhD in one of these disciplines—or possess substantial research experience. You thrive in multidisciplinary teams and excel at collaborating with practitioners. Practical experience in site investigations, field instrumentation, rockfall protection design, or industry partnerships is highly desirable.

Please send your complete application to Clemens Güdel, Human Resources SLF, by uploading the requested documents through our webpage. Applications via email will not be considered. Prof. Dr. Johan Gaume, Tel & , as well Dr. Nadine Salzmann, phone , will be happy to answer any questions or offer further information. WSL is committed to diversity and inclusion as core values.
