Postdoc Research Oportunity
Description
This 2- year postdoctoral position (beginning in July, 2010) will have a major role in the VHub project, which is developing a virtual organization and cyberinfrastructure for volcanology research and risk mitigation (see http://geohazards.buffalo.edu/VHub/). The successful candidate will work with the investigator team, international collaborators, and volcano observatories to implement VHub architecture and on one or more of the following topics: (1) integration of complex datasets (e.g., volcano topography, time-varying meteorological data, volcanic deposit distributions and characteristics) with predictive modeling tools; (2) development of multimodel forecasting and/or hazard assessment tools for eruptive phenomena; and (3) development and implementation of formal methods and standards for verification, validation, and benchmarking of volcano process models. This is a multidisciplinary project and will require active integration between team members. Extensive travel might be required at times during the appointment.
