<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We invite applications for a postdoctoral research position to study landslide and glacier based geohazards in High Mountain Asia. This region encompasses one of
the world’s greatest watersheds, but it is also a highly active tectonic zone where big and fatal landslides triggered by earthquakes or monsoon rains often block rivers and cause downstream outburst flooding. Additionally, these rivers receive meltwater from
the glaciers, which are retreating rapidly and producing abundant meltwater and creating large proglacial and supraglacial lakes. The lakes are commonly bounded by steep topography and unstable ice-cored moraine. Lake containment failures can lead to the sudden
discharge of huge volumes of water and debris, which could severely impact downstream infrastructure and cause longterm secondary environmental degradation. A successful candidate is expected to study and model the dynamics of these high mountain hazards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
