Crynodeb
Applications are invited for a fixed-term full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate position in radar monitoring of natural hazards, beginning around July 2025 (although there is some flexibility in this date, in both directions). The position is funded by NERC grant 'High Resolution Radar Imaging of Pyroclastic Density Currents', in collaboration with University College London, and the University of Liverpool. The successful applicant will work primarily with the UK PI Dr Richard Brown (Durham) and Co-I Prof Paul Brennan (UCL), Co-I Prof Patrice Carbonneau (Durham), and Co-I Dr Silvio de Angelis, and Prof Jim McElwaine (Woods Hole, USA). The project involves developing and maintaining radar equipment designed to capture quantitative data on pyroclastic density currents during volcanic eruptions. The successful candidate will have an engineering background and expertise in the development and deployment of radar-based technology for geophysical monitoring, and in the processing and interpreting of data from such equipment. The post will involve extended travel to install, maintain and extract data from equipment in Guatemala. Experience in the field installation of geophysical monitoring equipment is essential.
This post is fixed term for 12 months and the funding is available for this fixed period only.
The post-holder is employed to work on research/a research project which will be led by another colleague. Whilst this means that the post-holder will not be carrying out independent research in his/her own right, the expectation is that they will contribute to the advancement of the project, through the development of their own research ideas/adaptation and development of research protocols.
Successful applicants will, ideally, be in post by 31st July 2025
