The postdoctoral position aims to investigate the snow and meteorological factors influencing the decline in avalanche activity in the French Alps as a result of climate change. The successful candidate will engage in modeling and analysis to quantify the contributions of various predictors to observed trends in avalanche occurrences. The research will extend existing knowledge on avalanche dynamics and contribute to risk management strategies in mountainous regions. Candidates should have experience in numerical simulations, knowledge of snow physics, and strong programming skills. The position is based in Saint-Martin-d'Hères and will involve collaboration with experts in the field.
