About the role
The salary for this role is £42, (including London Allowance).The Horizon Europe Minority Report (Mitigating environmental disruptive events using people-centric predictive digital technologies to improve disaster and climate resilience) project aims to develop and implement an end-to-end people-centred computational framework (and accompanying technology platform) to design and test resilience- and sustainability-increasing strategies for the built environment. The Research Fellows will contribute to developing the Minority Report computational framework, mainly through the project’s techno-scientific stream: “Multi-hazard Risk Modelling, Quantification & Mitigation”. This will include:1) modelling physical impacts of multiple (including hydrometeorological and climatological) hazards, involving the quantification of effects on individual assets/infrastructure components (, buildings) as well as network-level and distributed-system disruptions; 2) modelling the social consequences of multi-hazards, also accounting for possible interactions with impacts on the built environment; 3) defining and characterising relevant risk and resilience metrics (, education accessibility, unemployment, recovery time per income) that extend beyond simple asset losses considered as part of conventional risk assessment approaches. This role is offered on a fixed-term contract basis for one year, with the possibility of extension by up to another year.
About you
The ideal candidate for this position should have a PhD degree in Multi-Hazard Disaster Risk Engineering or a related field such as Civil or Structural Engineering. The candidate must have knowledge of and experience in developing and applying appropriate techniques/approaches for end-to-end disaster-related risk assessments and mitigation, with particular emphasis on hydrometeorological and climatological hazards and integration of both physical and social systems. The candidate must also have exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively convey complex or technical information to a diverse audience. The ability to thrive in multi- and interdisciplinary research environments is a key requirement for this role.
