Risk Assessment

This is a reminder:
The Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research (IMK-TRO) at the
Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT), Germany, seeks to appoint a
Willis Research Fellow in the context of Hail Hazard and Risk Assessment.
The open position is concerned with the collective hazard and risk
assessment of hailstorms over Europe. The fellow will undertake research
on the estimation of hail from a combination of observational (e.g.,
radar, lightning, satellite, insurance) and model data (regional climate
models and re-analyses). Based on the new methods developed within the
project, complementary information regarding hail occurrence, hailstorm
tracks, footprints and their intensities will be derived and the
implications on the insurance sector analyzed.
The fellow is expected to strongly collaborate within the Willis
Research Network (WRN), and the Center for Disaster Management and Risk
Reduction Technology (CEDIM). WRN is the world's largest Public Private
Academic partnership linking science, policy making, and insurance. The
WRN provides a unique and lively forum for the advancement of the
science of societal-relevant natural catastrophes
(www.willisresearchnetwork.com). CEDIM is an interdisciplinary research
center in the field of disaster management founded by Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology (KIT) and Helmholtz Centre Potsdam - German
Research Centre for Geoscience (GFZ). The fellowship is an excellent
opportunity to develop an academic career in the context of natural
hazards that has real impact for the local and global insurance sector.
The position is placed at the Institute for Meteorology and Climate
Research (IMK-TRO), which combines extensive observation methods and
model work on tropospheric meteorology. The fellow will work part time
at Willis in London as well.
