Post Doctoral Researcher in Mathematical Modelling of Infectious
Diseases (UDIC).
LOCATION
IC3 Headquarters in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
General description and work environment
The Institut Catal? de Ci?ncies del Clima (IC3) is a climate institution
created by the Government of Catalunya and the University of Barcelona,
aiming at understanding climate change and variability, the dynamics and
theory underlying those changes and the impact on society. IC3 focus on
the Mediterranean regions, tropical Africa, South America and Southeast
Asia.
The UDIC is interested in research fields as diverse as Mediterranean
and tropical climates, teleconnections and global climate dynamics, ENSO
genesis and its predictability, the role of climate variability on the
global carbon cycle and understanding, detecting and simulating climate
impacts. On the latter, the RG on Climate and Health is specifically
devoted to modeling the dynamics of infectious diseases driven by
climate variability. In particular, we have been very active in trying
to understand better the way vector-borne diseases behave and how their
epidemiology interacts with the environment and climate in both endemic
and epidemic settings. Malaria, dengue, chikungunya and leishmaniasis
are among our interests, though we work also on other relevant human
diseases with an environmental link such as cholera, rotavirus and
Kawasaki disease.
For details, see www.ic3.cat

For the original announcement:
http://uio.easycruit.com/vacancy/1293346/64289?iso=no
The Department of Geosciences announces a
PhD Research Fellowship in Hydrology and Cryospheric Sciences
Position as PhD Research fellow (Stipendiat SKO 1017) available at Department of Geosciences.
The Department of Geosciences at the University of Oslo comprises sections for Geology and Geophysics, Geography and Hydrology, Meteorology and Oceanography, Physics of Geological Processes and the Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics (Centre of Excellence). The academic staff consists of 40 professors and approximately 80 research fellows. For more information, seehttp://www.geo.uio.no<http://www.geo.uio.no/>.
Job/ project description:
The specific topic of the Thesis will be developed based on the successful applicants own interests and expertise, however it is expected to contribute to the general area of snow hydrology and fall within existing research programs. Within the research group several projects on snow hydrology are in progress including collaborative research between The University of Oslo (UiO) and the Northern Research Institute (Norut) and Statkraft.
The successful applicant will be joining a group with research programs on Arctic and Alpine snow hydrology, including ?Arctic Earth Observation and Surveillance Technologies?; a long-term project focusing on the development of new advanced technologies for Earth observation from both satellites and UAS. Regional studies focus on catchments in southern Norway and Svalbard using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) for snow characterization. Other activities are focused on process level modeling of atmosphere-cryosphere interaction and hydrologic sensitivities. As Norway relies heavily on hydropower for primary production as well as storage for renewable energy, improved prognostic capabilities for the hydropower industry are a high research priority and characterization of catchment scale snow processes is critical for accurate seasonal forecasting of water resources.
In addition to field deployments with the UAS, the candidate will have access to state-of-the-art hydrologic and snow modeling tools using linux on the ABEL supercomputing cluster at UiO (http://goo.gl/swdkeE). The ideal candidate will have experience with Python and/or C++ and knowledge of large data analysis and visualization tools. Those with a particular interest in the development of embedded devices such as rasberry-Pi and otherwise are particularly encouraged to apply. Within our group you can anticipate to work in a highly collaborative environment and participate in a wide array of activities related to land-atmosphere processes with an emphasis on the cryosphere.
Requirements/qualifications:
Applicants must hold a Master?s degree or equivalent in hydrology, meteorology, or related with documented knowledge on hydrology, relevant for a PhD-study in the above mentioned specialties.
Course work in physics and mathematics along with demonstrated excellence in programming skills and the ability to work in a highly team-oriented environment are required. You should be creative and innovative with good collaborative skills.The candidate should have a good process understanding of Earth System Science and be comfortable with modeling concepts and tools. We are seeking candidates with a strong background in quantitative methods and experience with physically-based hydrological or land surface modeling, including own programming. Demonstrated experience working with large data sets, with preference for C++, Python, or R is required, preferably with experience on linux clusters.
The position as PhD Research fellow (Stipendiat SKO 1017) is intended as a four year term with teaching responsibilities. If two equal candidates are considered, preference may be given to one with a good knowledge of a Scandinavian language (Norwegian, Swedish, Danish). With the teaching responsibilities, the fellowship will be for a period of up to 4 years, with 25 % compulsory work (teaching responsibilities at the Department of Geosciences). Otherwise, the fellowship will be for a period of up to 3 years, with no compulsory work. Starting date as soon as possible
No one can be appointed for more than one fixed-term period at the same institution.
The purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree. The fellowship requires admission to the research training program at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. An approved plan for the research training, including a project outline (made out in cooperation with Prof. Dr. J.F. Burkhart), must be submitted no later than two months after taking up the position, and the admission is to be approved within three months. For more information see:

Research fellow at the University of Reading
Full-time, fixed-term (18 months), Grade 6 (?28,695-?30,434)
Despite extensive work on the public understanding of risk in, for example, health sciences, there has to date been relatively little corresponding work for natural hazards. This novel inter-disciplinary project will investigate how to improve the way risk is communicated for a range of natural hazards.
The job-holder will be involved in three main strands of research. Firstly they will conduct quantitative and qualitative studies of how three groups understand natural hazard risk information. Initial surveys will assess how well each of the three groups, risk practitioners, their clients and a control group made up of the general public understand natural hazard risk information, as well as differences in the use of the information between the groups. Follow-on controlled studies with small groups of participants will focus on areas of interest revealed by the early work and particular problems in risk communication for natural hazards such as low-probability, high-risk events.
The second strand will be to develop new methods to communicate risk to end users for all of the hazards considered. The methods will be developed jointly by the project team, members of the research consortium and industrial project partners. There is a particular need to address two generic methodologies used for risk communication: probability of exceedance (PoE) curves for loss and hazard maps. A final, crucial part of this strand is to assess the ability of the developed methods to communicate the uncertainty appropriately. As shown extensively by MacEachren et al. (2005) many authors have developed or proposed methods for visualizing uncertainty, but there has been little end-user testing of these methods.
Finally, throughout the course of the project there will be a number of opportunities to engage with both industrial stakeholders and the general public to start off broader discussion about how risk is communicated and used and the researcher would have a specific remit to be involved in these activities both to promote the science they are doing and develop opportunities for further research.
You will have:
- PhD or equivalent in Meteorology, Psychology or Information Design
- Previous experience of participation in empirical research projects
- Ability to carry out and support high quality academic research.
- Knowledge of quantitative and qualitative methods of data analysis
- Strong knowledge of experimental design
- Good scientific writing, presentation and communication skills.
