The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam - GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences is the national centre for research into the geosphere. With around 1,650 employees, we develop a sound understanding of systems and processes of the solid Earth as well as strategies and options for action to counter global change, understand natural hazards and sustainably secure energy and raw material requirements.
As part of the research mission 'Marine Extreme Events and Natural Hazards' of the German Marine Research Alliance (DAM), the joint project MULTI-MAREX will establish a living lab for the investigation of marine geological extreme events and associated hazards in Greece. Extreme geomarine events, including earthquakes and volcanogenic or seismogenic tsunamis and their cascading events, have serious short- and long-term consequences for coastal communities. Early warning and disaster prevention pose both societal and political challenges for which the joint project is developing the necessary expertise to deal with these hazards at various levels.
Section 2.5 is responsible for the Task 4.1 “Underexplored tsunami scenarios for the Central Mediterranean”. Numerical modeling of the earthquake and landslide triggered tsunamis in selected hot-spots regions including islands Santorini and Crete shall provide basis for high-resolution inundation and impact modeling to support co-design of mitigation measures at the selected locations. To support our contribution to the MULTI-MAREX Living Lab project, we invite highly motivated candidates experienced in tsunami modeling to apply. The position will be funded for 18 months.
