The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) seeks a Research Associate in the areas of natural hazard impacts.
The candidate will work under the supervision of David Lallemant and Susanna Jenkins and will collaborate with the researchers from the ‘Integrating Volcano and Earthquake Science and Technology (InVEST) in Southeast Asia’ project, a 5-year project that aims to provide a holistic understanding of regional tectonics, volcanoes, the linkages between the two, and their cascading hazards and impacts in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Key Responsibilities:
- Identify potentially impactful hazard scenarios in the Southeast Asian Ring of Fire, contributing to numerical modelling of the hazard and its consequences
- Develop key case studies that can inform and support policy decisions
- Prepare information and outputs in ways that can be used to communicate with policy makers and other risk stakeholders
- Collect and analyse data from natural hazards
- Support the team in simulating natural hazards and critically evaluating results
- Write technical reports, with the aim of publishing results in scientific journals
Job Requirements:
- Master Degree in relevant area, e.g. geography, computer science, physics, earth/environmental science
- Experience with coding preferred
- Interest in natural hazards and their impacts.
- Quantitative mindset
