This is a full-time position with *a starting date expected no later than August 7th, 2020, and funding availability up to a maximum of 12 months*. Health insurance benefits will be offered through the USF postdoctoral scholar health insurance program. *DUTIES:* The selected candidate will work in the volcanology group, School of Geosciences, University of South Florida and conduct research for the NASA ASAR-ISRO science project entitled â??Using Dual-Band SAR Imagery for Characterizing and Mapping of Volcanic Flows through Their Backscattering Propertiesâ??. The tasks of the Postdoctoral Researcher assigned to the project will be (but not limited) to: (i) generate a database of high-resolution, multi-frequency radar backscatter characteristics over various volcanic terrains in the western U.S., (ii) build high-resolution surface roughness maps, (iii) integrate an adaptive roughness coefficient into standard flow hazard models, (iv) test and validate the modified flow hazard models using well-constrained case studies of past volcanic flow events at the two selected targets. In addition, the selected candidate will work with the volcanology group to write and publish manuscripts, prepare and submit proposals related to the groupâ??s current and planned research agenda, and provide support in terms of the daily activities associated with existing research. The candidate is also encouraged to develop his/her own research agenda. *QUALIFICATIONS (Education & Experience):* - Minimum Qualifications: Doctoral degree from an accredited institution in volcanology, geology, geophysics, remote sensing, computer sciences or a related area with a research focus in radar data processing.
