Estimada comunidad geológica,

se informa que la Swiss National Science Foundation ofrece dos
oportunidades de doctorado de 4 años de duración para dos estudiantes a
comenzar en el 2020, para un proyecto dirigido a la evaluación regional del
riesgo volcánico de la Zona Volcánica Centro y Sur de los Andes (CVZ y SVZ)
en Chile y Argentina. Los dos candidatos a doctorado trabajarán por
separado, pero en colaboración, en dos subproyectos que implican en forma
combinada la evaluación probabilística de riesgos y la evaluación de
vulnerabilidad.

La *fecha límite* para aplicar es el *10 de enero del 2020*. Los
interesados deben contactarse por mail con Costanza Bonadonna:
Costanza.Bonadonna en unige.ch.

*Summary *

The first sub-project aims at a *probabilistic multi-hazard assessment* of
selected areas of the CVZ and SVZ. The PhD candidate will identify the
volcanoes with the highest potential impact through the development of a
dedicated risk-ranking methodology and will compile the associated hazard
assessment combining field work and multi-hazard modelling.

The second and complementary subproject aims at the *physical vulnerability
assessment* of the regions close to the volcanoes selected in the first
sub-project. The PhD candidate will combine field characterizations of the
typology of buildings and critical infrastructures. This will be integrated
with numerical modelling to adapt and extend existing fragility curves and
damage scales to the study areas.

Thematic-risk maps will be produced based on the results of both
sub-projects and in collaboration with local and national institutions.
Both sub-projects will be based at the University of Geneva, will be
supervised by Prof. Costanza Bonadonna and will involve the active
collaboration with the Earth Observatory of Singapore; the University of
South Florida, USA; the Politecnico di Milano, Italy; the East Tennessee
State University, USA; and the University of Naples “Federico II”, Italy.
The project will also engage multiple national institutions in Chile and
Argentina, including SEGEMAR (Servicio Geológico Minero Argentino);
SERNAGEOMIN (Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería – Chile); the Buenos
Aires Volcanic Ash Advisory Center; and INTA (Instituto Nacional de
Tecnología Agropecuaria – Argentina).



*Requirements*

Applicants must hold a diploma/master degree, or an equivalent level of
education, in Geology, Physics, Geophysics, Engineering or Computer
Sciences (with interests in natural hazards, vulnerability and risk
assessments). A background in numerical methods, programming, statistics,
and geospatial analyses (GIS) is advantageous for both projects. The
students will be integrated in the dynamic research group of Physical
Volcanology and Geological Risk of the University of Geneva and only highly
motivated candidates will be considered for these positions.
*Application deadline is January 10, 2020*. Interested applicants are
required to email a CV, academic transcripts (both undergraduate and
graduate), the names and full contact details of 2 or 3 referees, and a
motivation letter including the description of experience relevant to the
project (maximum 1 page). Unofficial copies of transcripts are acceptable
at this stage. Applicants should also include a statement addressing their
preference for either the hazard modelling or physical vulnerability
modelling sub-project.
