Offer: Research Associate / Senior Research Associate in Volcano InSAR:Job description:Job location: Bristol The function The School of Earth Sciences seeks to appoint a PDRA for 2 years to detect and classify the spatio-temporal patterns of volcano deformation using the rapidly growing global archive of satellite imagery. The researcher will work with closely with the COMET LICSAR processing team and Bristol's Visual Information Laboratory to develop new approaches to the systematic processing and analysis of InSAR data, focussing on volcanic unrest and eruption. What will you be doing? » Use satellite observations to study volcanic processes and relate these to the distribution of hazard. » Investigate how volcano deformation varies in space and time, making use of large InSAR datasets and data science approaches. » Work with volcano observatories to incorporate satellite observations into their monitoring strategy and use them to inform decision-making in near-real time. You should apply if » practice in processing and analysis of InSAR data and/or the application of data science approaches to InSAR datasets » Computational expertise required for the analysis and interpretation of geophysical data and models » capability to work closely in a team on joint research and publications? » capability to write up and publish scientific results in the international peer-reviewed literature Additional information Contract type: Open ended with fixed funding until 30/09/2026 This advert will close at 23:59 GMT on 02/06/2024 Interviews are anticipated to take place wk/c 17th June 2024 Our strategy and mission We recently launched ourstrategyto 2030 tying together our mission, vision and values.
