The Center for Land Surface Hazards Catalyst team (geoclash.org) invites applications for a postdoctoral research position. Appointment start date is flexible between January 1, 2023, and March 31, 2023, and the appointment is for 1 year. Preference will be given to candidates with a PhD in geological sciences, environmental sciences, hydrology, civil engineering, or similar field. A successful candidate will have an emerging record of scholarly excellence and will be expected to work independently on research objectives outlined in a recent NSF award.

The postdoc will lead two major efforts of the Catalyst project: (1) a research gap analysis and preparation of a community white paper, and (2) a pilot event-based scenario exercise with project partners. The postdoc will engage in a research-based gap analysis and evaluation of data relevant to center research themes, which is foundational to the preparation of the Center strategic plan. Community input to the gap analysis and resource planning will come from workshops, conference sessions, town hall meetings and an online scientific community discussion document. The postdoc will also envision and lead coordination of a pilot scenario exercise with project partners.
