The International Research Centre of Disaster Science and Sustainable Development (IRC2D) hosted by Université Clermont Auvergne (UCA) and involving various disciplines (Earth, atmospheric and environmental sciences, mathematics, physics, economics, laws, human and social sciences, psychology, health sciences) invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship on independent research of the applicant’s choosing. IRC2D aims to study complex interactions between natural disasters and societies, in particular volcanism in developing countries, and the path between research and political decision-making. Research activities encompass a broad range of approaches and relate to quantitative studies of natural hazards (including physico-chemical processes), physical or socio-economic impacts of natural hazards, hazard/risk evaluation, vulnerability/resilience assessment, or hazard/risk communication strategies. Details on research programs and laboratories involved can be found on the website (https://cap2025.fr/challenges-scientifiques/risques-naturels-catastrophiques-et-vulnerabilite-socio-economique). Candidates are requested to contact potential host laboratories to develop collaborative projects (otherwise, applications will not be considered).
Fellowship is supported for 24 months and includes a research allowance. The annual salary is € 25,600-27,500 depending on experience and is complemented by a benefit package (health insurance plus retirement and unemployment benefits).
Candidates interested in proposing a project involving members from the Cerdi shall contact Michael Goujon (michael.goujon@uca.fr).
