We are offering an exciting 2-year postdoctoral position focused on the analysis, diagnosis, and prediction of landslides using cutting-edge theoretical and statistical frameworks. The successful candidate will work at the frontier of geohazard research, leveraging advanced methods such as the dragon-king theory, the endo-exo framework, log-periodic power law singularity (LPPLS) theory, tipping point dynamics, and other methods developed by Qinghua Lei and Didier Sornette and others. A unique aspect of this position is the opportunity to collaborate with the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE), a key partner in the project, and to work with their extensive and high-quality database of ongoing monitored landslides across Norway. This rare access provides an exceptional empirical foundation to test and refine theoretical models. The position offers the freedom to explore new directions, develop original approaches, and contribute to shaping the future of natural hazard forecasting in close collaboration with Qinghua Lei and Didier Sornette and researchers at the NVE. The project is for two years.
