Eth Zurich
Zurich, (CH)
Professor of Alpine Mass Movements
The Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering ( www.baug.ethz.ch ) at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL ( www.wsl.ch ) invite applications for the above-mentioned position to establish a research group on Alpine Mass Movements. The joint position will be affiliated with the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research in Davos (Canton Grisons) and ETH Zurich.
The successful candidate is expected to develop a strong and visible research programme, which addresses the challenges caused by the ongoing changes in mountain regions and specifically focuses on mass movements and on providing solutions for natural hazards mitigation in mountain environments. Topics of interest for the professorship are, among others, the simulation of the dynamics of mass movements like avalanches, debris flows, landslides, and rockfall from the triggering to the runout zones, which are of importance as a basis for risk...
