<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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. <span></span></p>

sub-project aims at a <b><i>probabilistic multi-hazard assessment</i></b><i> </i>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.<span></span></span></p>

and complementary subproject aims at the <b><i>physical vulnerability
assessment</i></b><i> </i>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.<span></span></span></p>

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).<span></span></span></p>
