Colleagues,
The School of Environment at the University of Auckland (UoA) is seeking a
dynamic early career researcher to take up a 3-year fixed-term Postdoctoral
Fellowship in the interdisciplinary area of volcanic hazard map
development, design and communication. I posted this initially last week
prior to COV10 to give people a chance to chat with us there. *Please visit
this link for more information on the position, including instructions on
how to apply*:

S/c/HRS_HRAM.HRS_CE.GBL?Page=HRS_CE_JOB_DTL&Action=A&JobOpen
ingId=20092&SiteId=1&PostingSeq=1
The successful candidate will join Jan Lindsay, Mary Anne Thompson and
Michael Martin from UoA and Graham Leonard from GNS Science to *explore a
fit-for-purpose volcanic hazard mapping framework for New Zealand.*
The aim of this project is to combine research and scholarship on map
design and cartography with lessons from both New Zealand and international
volcanic hazard mapping experiences to develop, test and implement an
operational
framework for volcanic hazard map development in New Zealand to improve
hazard communication before, during and after a crisis. The candidate will
assist our current efforts to develop a preliminary multi-agency framework
for volcanic hazard map development and then apply the framework to a case
study volcano in New Zealand. The preliminary framework will be evaluated
through qualitative methods (e.g., interviews or focus groups with key
stakeholders), and the case study results will be tested (for example,
through a table-top exercise or empirical research study), to determine
whether the resultant map and associated products are fit for purpose and
meet their communication and messaging goals.
The research will feed into the development of an *operational framework
for volcanic hazard map development in New Zealand, *a flexible workflow
that can be implemented across all New Zealand volcanoes for all types of
hazard maps. The project will be fully integrated with hazard mapping
research and hazard map development at GNS Science. GNS Science runs the
GeoNet monitoring programme, which includes volcano monitoring, setting of
volcanic alert levels and delivery of alert bulletins that often include
maps during eruptions.
The area of hazard communication is rapidly gaining attention as an
important and priority area of future research worldwide. The successful
candidate will join our New Zealand based team to work on the project
described above as well as other transdisciplinary research projects in the
growing field of hazard and risk communication.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in Geography, GIS, or related
field (e.g. Volcanology), and a track record of research as demonstrated by
scholarly publications. They will have experience in qualitative and
quantitative social science research methods; experience in cartography
and/or communications research and an openness to engage with stakeholders.
An understanding of volcanic processes and hazards will be very
beneficial.

m/gp/book/9783319440958 <https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319440958>
This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of volcanic crisis
research, the goal being to establish ways of successfully applying
volcanology and to identify areas that need to be addressed for future
progress. It shows how volcano crises are managed in practice, and helps to
establish best practices. Consequently, the book brings together over 100
authors from all over the globe who work with volcanoes, ranging from
observatory volcanologists, disaster practitioners and government officials
to NGO-based and government practitioners to address three key aspects of
volcanic crises.
First, the book explores the unique nature of volcanic hazards, which makes
them a particularly challenging threat to forecast and manage, due in part
to their varying spatial and temporal characteristics. Second, it presents
lessons learned on how to best manage volcanic events based on a number of
crises that have shaped our understanding of volcanic hazards and crises
management. Third, it discusses the diverse and wide-ranging aspects of
communication involved in crises, which merge old practices and
new technologies to accommodate an increasingly challenging and globalised
world.
The information and insights presented here are essential to tapping
established knowledge, moving towards more robust volcanic crises
management, and understanding how the volcanic world is perceived from a
range of standpoints and contexts around the globe.
Many thanks and we hope you are enjoying the free downloads and eBook of
the version! Looking forward to seeing you on the 20th.
Kind regards,
Deanne Bird, Kat Haynes, Gill Jolly, Bill McGuire, and Carina Fearnley -
Editorial Team
