Senior Research Associate in Sediment Flow Modelling

We are offering an exciting opportunity for a Senior Research Associate (SRA) position to join a team of investigators working on the UKRI NERC-funded Pushing the Frontiers grant ‘Hazardous and extreme lahar-driven sediment fluxes: Addressing the gap between land and deep-sea (LAHAR2SEA)’. This project aims to characterise and model the sediment transport from high concentration lahars (volcanic debris flows) into the shallow marine environment, to calibrate and validate a new process-based model of offshore global sediment budget, and to anticipate impacts to marine ecosystems, undersea internet cables and fishery sites. We aim to develop a globally-applicable framework for assessing and mitigating lahar-related hazards with partners spanning subsea cable industry, fisheries, emergency management organisations and governments. 

As a Senior Research Associate in Sediment Flow Modelling you will extend an existing model of sediment ...
