The full title of the project is â??Geographical imaginations and the (geo)politics of volcanic risk: cultures, knowledges, actionsâ??. Please do get in touch if you are interested â?? links and more info below. Closing date: 4th Nov. Best wishes Amy http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/23498/ PDRA1 will be an interdisciplinary social scientist, with an interest in disaster studies and participatory methods. They will: a) Work in communities initially in Latin American sites to understand cultural, political and economic issues around volcano communities; b) Aid the PI/PDRA2 in the development of the project methodology in Latin America; c) Interview stakeholders (scientists, officials) in Chile, Argentina and Peru concerning risk management and mitigation; d) Conduct focus groups and participatory exercises designed by the project team in case study locations; e) Deploy the methodologies in East Africa in the second phase of the project; f) Produce high-quality publications; g) Help the PI/PDRA2 in the production of an edited collection; h) Communicate effectively with partners and stakeholders in case study locations. http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/23502/ PDRA2 will be an interdisciplinary geoscientist, with an interest in risk assessment and working with communities. They will: a) Work closely with collaborators in case study regions to develop multihazard scenarios, based on (i) maps and models, (ii) historical documents and oral accounts and (iii) workshop and interview information from PDRA1's work. b) Be highly numerate and have experience using hazard models for volcanic hazards and/or related hazards; c) Be able to use GIS software in the production and enhancement of maps; d) Be willing to spend time working through historical sources to understand past histories of volcanism and community response to it; e) Be willing to learn some social scientific methodologies to contribute to scenario construction and use in the later phases of the project; f) Work in all case study locations. 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
