You will be responsible for the coordination of
the research among the twelve projects of the scientific programme and foster
connections with important stakeholders. You will synthesise the results and
promote knowledge transfer towards practical applications. Besides these
coordinating tasks, you also will contribute to the successful completion of
the programme with your own research on the effects of climate change on Alpine
mass movements, in particular on cascading processes or other research topics
connecting several of the individual projects. You will publish your results in
scientific journals, present them at international conferences and acquire
additional funding for specific topics of the programme.
You hold a Master’s degree in Physics,
Engineering, Environmental or Natural Sciences and have completed your studies
with a Ph.D. You have successfully applied for and received research grants and
you regularly publish in high-ranking scientific journals. You are fluent in
spoken and written English; you have a sound knowledge of German, and ideally
also of either French or Italian. You communicate easily with your peers as
well as with the public and have an integrative personality. Finally, you are
used to work independently, in a structured and efficient manner and you like operating
within an interdisciplinary and practice oriented research environment.
