The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) is a research centre at NTU with a mission to conduct fundamental research on earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and climate change in and around Southeast Asia, towards safer and more sustainable societies. For more information on EOS, please visit ********. EOS invites applications for a Research Fellow position in tephra hazard research relating to near real-time eruption detection, characterisation, and dispersal modelling. The main focus on this project revolves around regional infrasound detection and identification of volcanic activity. The successful candidate will work in a vibrant scientific department, participating in strong collaborations and frequent interaction with members of the volcano group and stakeholders in Singapore and the region. The candidate will work under the supervision of Associate Professors Benoit Taisne and Susanna Jenkins with a team of international scientists on the integration of different eruption detection, characterisation, and modelling components. The candidate will work in a team to develop a framework that integrates multiple strands of data to ultimately automate volcanic event detection, characterisation and modelling of the resulting tephra hazard. Key Responsibilities: Design framework to integrate multiple data sources (e.g. infrasound, satellite) that can refine eruption source parameters in near real-time Familiarity with tephra dispersal models (ideally 3D) and eruption source parameters Coordinate between multiple research partners involved in the project and explore the potential for additional strands of research Maintenance of documentation, including inhouse data repository, and GitHub repository Perform other relevant research tasks assigned by the Principal Investigator Job Requirements: PhD in volcanology, atmospheric transport modelling, or related topics Established in the field with a good record of publications Able to mentor and coach undergraduate and PhD students Strong computational background (e.g., Python, Matlab…), with experience in a Linux/Unix working environment preferred Self-driven, able to work independently but also a good team player Demonstrate enthusiasm and willingness to learn Excellent English written and communication skills Independence in research direction and team spirit Team player and willingness to collaborate We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified. Hiring Institution: NTU A research-intensive public university, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has 33,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students in the Engineering, Business, Science, Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, and Graduate colleges. It also has a medical school, the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, established jointly with Imperial College London. NTU is also home to world-class autonomous institutes – the National Institute of Education, S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Earth Observatory of Singapore, and Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering – and various leading research centres such as the Nanyang Environment Water Research Institute (NEWRI) and Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N). Ranked amongst the world’s top universities by QS, NTU has also been named the world’s top young university for the past seven years. The University’s main campus is frequently listed among the Top 15 most beautiful university campuses in the world and has 57 Green Mark-certified (equivalent to LEED-certified) buildings, of which 95% are certified Green Mark Platinum. Apart from its main campus, NTU also has a campus in Novena, Singapore’s healthcare district. Under the NTU Smart Campus vision, the University harnesses the power of digital technology and tech-enabled solutions to support better learning and living experiences, the discovery of new knowledge, and the sustainability of resources.
