The EOS/ASE Geodesy Group at NTU is searching for a Research Engineer II to work under the supervision of Prof Emma Hill on the role of tectonics in modifying regional relative sea level (RSL). The successful candidate will analyse geodetic data and conduct numerical modelling to estimate RSL related to past and future earthquakes and other processes of land-height change in Southeast Asia.

Further to this, they will work on projects aimed at effective communication of these results to policymakers and other stakeholders. They will investigate best practices for communicating probabilistic estimates of potential future impacts of earthquakes on RSL. The successful candidate will have a Bachelors' degree in Earth Science, natural hazards, remote sensing, geodesy, computer science, data science, or a related subject. Most importantly they will have enthusiasm to engage in the research work of our group, and a passion for making Southeast Asia a safer and more sustainable place for all communities in the region.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyze and interpret geodetic and remote sensing data from regional observing networks and satellites to further our understanding of land-height change in Southeast Asia.
• Conduct numerical modeling of tectonic processes, including to use numerical modeling techniques to model deformation resulting from viscoelastic deformation of the Earth's asthenosphere.
• Conduct probabilistic analysis for potential future impacts of earthquakes on RSL.
• Conduct studies into best practices for communication of results on RSL from tectonics to policymakers and other key stakeholders, including discussion with these groups to learn their needs.

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Earth or environmental science.
• At least 4 years of experience working in an Earth science field.
• Demonstrated experience in geodetic data analysis and numerical modelling of tectonic deformation.
• Demonstrated experience conducting scientific research.
• Demonstrated ability to write and present at the level of peer-reviewed scientific journals and international conferences, which will usually be in English.
• Collaborative mindset and strong teamwork skills.
• Evidence of lead authorship of papers submitted or accepted into peer-reviewed journals would be a plus.
