2 Lecturer positions in the Institute for Risk & Uncertainty, University of Liverpool

The  http://www.liv.ac.uk/risk-and-uncertainty/  Institute for Risk & Uncertainty / School of Engineering, University of Liverpool is recruiting 2 Lecturers as detailed below

Lecturer in Uncertainty and Risk in Complex Systems and Networks http://www.liv.ac.uk/working/job_vacancies/academic/A-580912.htm


Ref: A-580912/WWW

Closing date for receipt of applications: 7 December 2012 This Lectureship is allocated to both the Centre for Engineering Sustainability in the School of Engineering (administratively and for teaching) and the Institute for Risk & Uncertainty (for research). You will have a PhD in Engineering or a relevant Physical or Mathematical Science discipline. You will already have an excellent established research record in an academic environment, including the publishing of influential papers in leading academic journals and the attraction of external funding from a range of sources. Applications are particularly welcome from those with a background in uncertainty quantification in complex systems and networks, and mathematical modelling of processes.

Teaching commitments can be expected at both undergraduate and postgraduate level within the School. The post is available immediately.

Lecturer in Geotechnical Risk and Environmental Hazards http://www.liv.ac.uk/working/job_vacancies/academic/A-580915.htm
Ref: A-580915/WWW
Closing date for receipt of applications: 7 December 2012 This Lectureship is allocated to both the Centre for Engineering Sustainability in the School of Engineering (administratively and forteaching) and the Institute for Risk & Uncertainty (for research). You will have experience in uncertainty quantification and environmental risk assessment in geotechnical engineering and hydrology and stability problems (slope stability / landslides) in association with natural hazards. You will have a PhD in Engineering or a relevant Physical or Mathematical Science discipline. You should have a background in modelling, quantification and processing of uncertainty and in the assessment of risk in this context with stochastic, Bayesian or alternative (e.g. imprecise probabilities) models. Teaching can be expected at both undergraduate and postgraduate level within the School.
