Fully-funded 4-year PhD on socio-economic resilience & post-disaster recovery assessment
03 December 2015

We invite applications for a fully-funded 4-year PhD position to study socio-economic resilience and post-disaster recovery assessment. The project will focus on the development of methods to identify and understanding physical and non-physical indicators of post-disaster recovery and associated resilience with remote sensing image analysis, and to understand socio-economic drivers behind observed recovery using spatial agent-based modelling. The study will focus on the recovery situation following Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in November 2013.

Interested candidates are invited to apply before January 1st 2016. The selection criteria and the employment conditions as well as instructions on how to apply can be found here.  Check here for more info about the project.
