style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We
seek an enthusiastic research scientist for a postdoctoral
research position, funded by the EPSRC project "Data
Assimilation for the Resilient City" (DARE). Data assimilation
(DA) is an emerging, mathematical technique fusing complex
computational models with heterogeneous observations. The
objective for the post is to use advanced DA to create a
step-change in skill for numerical predictions of urban
flooding. The post holder will undertake research in data
assimilation for flood inundation modelling, using synthetic
aperture radar data alongside datasets of opportunity such as
smartphone photographs and CCTV.<br>
<br>
You will have:<br>
<br>
- a PhD or equivalent experience, in a quantitative physical
science, engineering or mathematics.<br>
<br>
- Strong analytical and problem solving skills<br>
<br>
- Ability to write and adapt computer programs.<br>
