RED (Risk, Engineering and Development) SpA was founded in 2012. It offers a wide range of services in the field of natural and human-induced hazard and risk assessment, with a particular focus on earthquake and weather-related perils. RED counts on 20 employees and collaborators with a Master or PhD degree. It is located in the historical city center of Pavia (Italy). RED has recently joined KatRisk, a leading global provider of catastrophe risk solutions, and is now part of a global enterprise with more than 300 employees worldwide. This offers the opportunity to work within a large international organization at the forefront of hazard and risk modelling.
Overview
RED is looking for a highly motivated earthquake risk modeller to join its geo-hazard risk team. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and application of models related to earthquake-induced hazards and their impacts on the built environment, supporting risk assessment activities at different spatial scales. Depending on the candidate’s background and expertise,
the role may include work on ground failure phenomena, site effects, and other secondary earthquake hazards, as well as broader risk modelling activities.
The position offers the opportunity to work within a dynamic, multidisciplinary team and to engage in a variety of geo-hazard modelling activities.
The job is based in Pavia (Italy) with the possibility of hybrid working arrangements.
Responsibilities
The successful candidate will perform the following tasks, under the supervision of senior team members:
- Support the development and application of earthquake hazard and risk models, including components related to secondary earthquake hazards (e.g., ground deformation, slope instability, liquefaction, site amplification).
- Contribute to the modelling of exposure and vulnerability of buildings and infrastructure to earthquake-related hazards.
- Support the integration of geohazard components within broader
