Studierende finden an der ETH Zürich ein Umfeld, das eigenständiges Denken fördert, Forschende ein Klima, das zu Spitzenleistungen inspiriert.
The Group is a chair established in 2016 within the with a double affiliation at the Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology (MeteoSwiss). The activities of IED include research, teaching, and outreach at the intersection of natural and social science, contributing to the development of effective policy and decision-making strategies in the areas of climate policies, social justice, and the environment. The WCR Group works on analyzing the risk of extreme weather events for all socially relevant aspects (e.g., the risk for critical infrastructures, displaced people, global ecosystems, food security, supply chains, work productivity, and many more), and how these will change in the future. In particular, the role of climate change, and the opportunities for adaptation strategies to reduce future risks are investigated. To this effect, the group is actively developing and using (CLImate ADAptation), a fully open-source climate risk modelling platform written in Python. Ultimately, the main goal is to provide an information basis for forward-looking decision-making concerning climate adaptation strategies.
This project is part of a larger EU-innovation project seeking to demonstrate how tools from the whole weather and climate-risk management chain (e.g., forecasting, post-disaster assessment, or appraisal of adaptation options) can be made interoperable. The arising synergies will significantly improve the various models and provide increased support to decision-makers from civil society, politics, industry, and the humanitarian sector for managing current and future risks. The full project has a strong focus on innovation, and thus researchers and practitioners from the industry are among the partners.
The advertised position is to be conducted within the WCR group, and as such integrates within the larger research program on investigating risks of extreme weather events under current and future climate.
You should begin between April and June 2023, and the position is for 2 years.
