Risk Management Solutions has opened a full time position for a storm surge modeler. Experience required is in storm surge or other aspects of coastal ocean modeling and coastal flooding.
Details below, for any further information you can contact Stefano Zanardo (stefano.zanardo@rms.com).
Objective of the Role:
We are currently recruiting for a role related to the modelling of storm-surge, waves, overtopping and coastal flooding in various parts of the world. The modelling work carried out by this team encompasses all steps from hazard modelling to loss modelling. The department has an engaged working environment with a clear scientific, motivated and technological atmosphere.
Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:
- Building and developing the storm surge & wave model components;
- Evaluating model results (both hazard and loss data) by comparison to observed data and loss benchmarks;
- Develop new modelling approaches for the next generation RMS(one) platform;
- Further advancement of modules by researching and implementing novel scientific techniques;
- Communicating research to clients and other stakeholders.
Requirements:
- Minimum 2.1 degree and a PhD or research experience related to storm-surge or other aspects of coastal ocean modelling. Strong candidates with a different but equivalent profile would also be considered;
- Experience working in a UNIX or Linux environment;
- Experience with either numerical models (such as AGCMs, OGCMs, CGCMs, regional models or mesoscale models), handling large data sets, or statistical modeling;
- Experience with data analysis and programming languages (e.g. R, Python, Fortran).
Advantageous:
- Previous experience in catastrophe modeling, or specific expertise in modelling natural hazards, is not necessary but valued.
