The Institute of Interdisciplinary Mountain Research (IGF ) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW ), Austria’s leading non-university research and science institution, engages in the basic and applied research on impacts of global change processes in mountain regions across the globe. The working groups at the IGF provide a broad spectrum of expertise on a wide range of topics, and together create an exciting atmosphere for interdisciplinary mountain research. The institute is now offering a
Postdoc Position (f*m)
for Landscape Evolution Modelling
(full-time, 40h per week)
for an initial period of one year, with the possibility of an extension to up to six years in total. Starting date is to be arranged. The full-time position is affiliated with Working Group Coupled Human Landscape System: Risk & Resilience at IGF, located in Innsbruck/Austria.
Your tasks:
- To work primarily on the landscape evolution model (LEM) and to tackle questions on climate change and/or human impact on landscape evolution. This will include to develop or adapt a LEM taking also mountain hazard processes (landslides, debris flows, floods, …) into consideration.
- To work - together with the interdisciplinary team at the IGF and at the Department of Geography, University of Innsbruck - to enhance the conceptual model for analysing coupled human-landscape systems in mountain areas (Hossain et al. 2020 ) by identifying crucial couplings and interactions on different spatial and temporal scales.
- Based on the conceptual model and related to the study sites you will develop a numerical prototype of the coupled model for the human-landscape interaction system, which will be tested and evaluated together with the interdisciplinary team. Another PostDoc will focus on agent-based modelling and the social/economic aspects.
Your profile:
- PhD degree in the fields of e.g. geography, hydrology, geosciences, environmental sciences or similar.
- Experience in interdisciplinary research and respective collaboration with various disciplines
