The SLIDE project has started in November 2024 and involves 20 researchers from<br>3 research institutes (CRPG, ISTerre, ECGS in Luxembourg). It is structured in 3 work packages (WP):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>WP1: Assessing the comprehensive dynamics over time and space of a selection of different types of<br>SMLs, using a multi-faceted approach (remote-sensing, GPS, seismic and climatic monitoring)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WP 2: Mapping at broad scale the SML activity and velocity in central Nepal from remote sensing<br>and machine learning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WP 3: Assessing the erosional flux of the SMLs in central Nepal, and exploring the sensitivity of the<br>SMLs to forcing using numerical modelling<br>The proposed position takes part in WP3. However, the post-doc will be involved in project<br>discussions, participating in team meetings and, if desired, in field instrumentation of active slowmoving landslides in the Himalayas of Nepal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The applicant should hold a PhD degree in geosciences, engineering or computational mechanics.<br>The degree needs to be obtained by the time of the decision of employment. The applicant should have<br>a solid base in mechanics as well as experience in numerical modeling and scientific<br>programming. We seek a highly motivated researcher with a strong background in quantitative<br>modeling and a keen interest in interdisciplinary approaches to natural hazard prediction. We also<br>strongly encourage the postdoctoral candidate to bring their own ideas, methods, and perspectives to<br>the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application should include a cover letter of max 2 pages, shortly describing her\/his personal<br>motivation for applying to this postdoctoral position and how she\/he sees her\/his role in contributing to<br>the project, as well as her\/his relevant skills, qualifications and research interests. The application<br>should also include a CV (with a full publication list), PhD degree certificate, PhD thesis, and<br>other relevant documents, as well as the contact details of 2-3 referees. The application should be<br>sent to Dr Luc Scholt\u00e8s (luc.scholtes@uca.fr) and Dr J\u00e9r\u00f4me Lav\u00e9 ( jerome.lave@ univ-lorraine.fr ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The employment is a full time position of up to 18 months.
