Open positions

  1. We’re currently looking for a field + research support technician.

  2. Graduate student is wanted for a research on the impact of climate change on soil erosion

    Soil erosion is considered to be a global environmental hazard influenced by both natural and human factors. It is expected to increase with global warming and infrastructure development. The current research will combine remote sensing, numerical modeling, and fieldwork to estimate erosion rates and evaluate conservation
    strategies in the Northern Negev, Israel.
    Proficiency in numerical modeling, computer programming (Python, Matlab), and data analysis, or willingness to learn these tools, is required.
    The research will be in collaboration with researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of Boulder Colorado, and the Geological Survey of Israel.
    Send CV and transcripts to: moshe.armon@mail.huji.ac.il / yairr@gsi.gov.il

  3. MSc/third year BSc student is wanted for a research project on Risks posed by dryland dams 

    Drylands (arid and semi-arid regions) are characterised by high-variance low-mean rainfall. Additionally, in-situ rain measurements are scarce, and therefore, basic hydrological knowledge in drylands is inadequate. Nevertheless, drylands host many artificial dams built to mitigate flood impacts, water resource management, agriculture, and electricity production. These dams often are ineffective – they either remain empty or collapse due to floods, as in the case of the September 2023 flood in Libya, with thousands of casualties.
    The study will use satellite-based rainfall data, advanced statistical analysis, and spatial analysis tools to investigate the risks posed by dryland dams worldwide.
    Proficiency or willingness to learn computer programming (Python, Matlab), spatial analysis (GIS, Google Earth Engine) is required.
    The research will be in collaboration with researchers from the University of Haifa and the University of Boulder Colorado.
