3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 From: Felipe Aguilera Barraza <feaguilera@xxxxxx> Call for applications: Postdoctoral position at Ckelar Volcanoes (2023_1) The Millennium Institute for Volcanic Risk Research - Ckelar Volcanoes, offers a postdoctoral position in volcanic hazards and risks. General Background One of the major problems in the analysis of volcanic hazards is the poor detailed geological information available to establish the characteristics, time of occurrence, magnitude, and distances reached by the effusive and explosive events. The modeling of the volcanological processes is one of the most important tasks to be carried out in order to establish their eruptive scenarios, and consequently, the areas where possible future events can be affected. Finally, the analysis of multidimensional vulnerability is essential to establish the elements that may eventually be explored in regions that could be affected by a volcanic eruption. In particular, northern Chile is a perfect scenario that can be considered as a natural laboratory for the evaluation of volcanic hazards and risks, mainly due to the good preservation of the geological record, less populated and with scarce infrastructure, which allows to obtain a high level of detail. Research The main research topic is to carry out volcanic hazard assessment, physical, territorial, social and economic vulnerability analysis in volcanic areas related to polygenetic and monogenetic systems in northern Chile. Requirements · Doctoral degree certification in Earth Sciences or related fields. · Curriculum vitae. · A cover letter that must indicate a tentative working plan and previous experience in volcanic hazard assessment and vulnerability analysis (this point can be supported with copies of scientific articles). · Two recommendation letters. Responsibilities · Permanent residence in Chile, specifically in the city of Antofagasta. · Teamwork and collaboration with master and doctoral students. · Participation in outreach activities. · If necessary, participate in teaching activities. · Apply to the FONDECYT postdoctoral competition in case of having obtained the doctoral degree no later than January 1, 2020. · Publication of at least 1 scientific WOS/ISI article per year. Time and remuneration · Duration of the position: Two years, extensible to 3 years on the basis of an evaluation during the second year. · Starting of the postdoc: April 2023. · Monthly income: CLP$1,970,000 (US$2,300 approximately). Application and deadline · Requested documents should be sent to comunicaciones@xxxxxxxxxx, indicating in the subject Postdoctoral Ckelar 2023_1. · Deadline for applications: February 19, 2023. · Inquiries should be sent to comunicaciones@xxxxxxxxxx Disclaimer · In case of equality of scores between two or more applicants, the female applicant will be selected by gender policies of the institute. · If necessary, a virtual interview will be requested. · The institute reserves the right to declare the competition null, if necessary. 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 ------------------------------
