You must have a minimum of a Bachelors degree in Geology, Physical Geography, Geophysics or similar, with an interest in the fields of landslides, geohazards, and quantitative geomorphology. Some experience in using ArcGIS Pro or another GIS programme is essential. You must have experience of completing a dissertation or research project using a range of methods and datasets. Experience of statistical analysis of scienctific datasets is desirable.  You must be able to work collaboratively and inclusively as part of a team, be able to meet deadlines and present your work in a range of formats.

The successful candidate may be required to obtain an ATAS Certificate prior to this research being undertaken.

Please demonstrate how you meet the essential criteria outlined in the knowledge, qualifications, training and experience elements of the job description in your supporting statement.

For an informal discussion to find out more about the role then please contact Dr Sarah Boulton by email at [email protected] .

Interviews are likely to take place week commencing Monday 11th December 2023 and you will be notified if you have been shortlisted or not.
