Postdoc in earthquake and landslide multihazards
University of Canterbury, , New Zealand
Apply before: 1 June 2024


The Tectonics & Disaster, Risk, and Resilience groups at the University of Canterbury invite applications for a 2-year Postdoctoral Fellowship in earthquake and landslide hazards. The position is funded by the New Zealand Earthquake Commission Tū Tu Ake and is focused on driving research that (i) evaluates the interactions between climate change and solid earth geohazards; and (ii) reduces the impacts of multi-hazards on people, property, and infrastructure.


The scope of the work is deliberately broad and open, and we encourage candidates with backgrounds across the Earth Sciences to apply. Applicants with specialisation in any of tectonics, geomorphology, hydrology, engineering geology, geophysics, geodesy, and/or risk are strongly encouraged. Programming and GIS skills are essential, and experience working with statistical and/or physics-based models of crustal or surface processes is preferred. Candidates should have a PhD by the time of applying or expect to have their degree conferred by mid-2024.


Applications will be reviewed from June 1st. Further details and application portal are here: https://jobs.canterbury.ac.nz/jobdetails/ajid/Ulj79/Postdoctoral-Fellow-in-Earthquake-and-Landslide-Multi-hazards,19400
