Specifically, the successful candidate will:
· Forward research in wildfire exposure and risk to buildings, the wildland-urban interface (WUI), and other valued assets to inform DOI and USWFS wildfire risk assessments and risk mitigation strategies.
- Advance methods to predict wildfire exposure and damage to buildings at national or larger scales using simulation models and deep and machine learning
- Lead development and publication of journal articles related to this research
- Develop, maintain, and expand data sets that quantify building losses caused wildfires annually
- Develop prototypes and identify data sources for non-building valued assets such as communication, energy, hydrological, or transportation infrastructure impacted by wildfires
- Develop, update, and analyze global- and national-scale datasets mapping Wildland Urban Interface using building footprints, census bureau, land cover, and fire occurrence data
Required Education and Experience:
Candidates must meet the requirements listed below to be considered for this position; please note required items on your resume.
- Must have a 3-year residency in the United States
- This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a national agency check and background investigation after hire to obtain credentials for facility access and user accounts.
