<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Postdoctoral Research Position in Multi-Hazard Modeling and Risk Assessment of Tropical Cyclones</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 18.4px; font-size: medium; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) seeks a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team in investigating multi-hazard risks
associated with tropical cyclones in a warming climate. The researcher will focus on simulating multiple hazards from tropical cyclones, including compound flooding (from storm surge, torrential rainfall, and riverine flooding) and intense winds, as well as
quantifying the direct and indirect economic impacts of these hazards due to climate variability and anthropogenic warming. This research involves advanced numerical modeling using observational data and physics-based synthetic tracks across various warming
scenarios.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 18.4px; font-size: medium; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The successful candidate will work under the direction of Dr. Ali Sarhadi to conduct original research, write manuscripts for publication, participate in professional meetings, and collaborate with faculty
and graduate students at Georgia Tech. The candidate will also be encouraged to develop and pursue their own areas of research interest. Research in the group involves a combination of observational analysis, theoretical work, and numerical modeling, which
the candidate will be encouraged to integrate into their own research based on their interests. The trainee will receive mentorship to develop professional skills in research design and communication, grantsmanship, leadership, networking, and navigating the
faculty job market.
