Pubblicato il 19-10-2026 - KatRisk in Cagliari
We are looking for a highly motivated Earthquake Hazard and Risk Modeler to join its geo-hazard risk team. The successful candidate will contribute primarily to the development, implementation, and maintenance of seismic hazard models, supporting earthquake catastrophe (CAT) model development pipelines across the world. Depending on the candidate’s background and interests, the role will also include contributions to exposure, vulnerability, and risk modeling, as well as progressive involvement in other activities (such as secondary-perils) carried out by the geo-hazard risk team and the company. The job is based in Pavia (Italy) with the possibility of remote working. The successful candidate will perform the following tasks, under the supervision of senior team members: * Support the development, implementation, and application of seismic hazard models, including probabilistic and deterministic approaches for earthquake hazard assessment at regional scales. * Contribute to the development and maintenance of earthquake hazard and risk modeling frameworks, including hazard,
exposure, and vulnerability components. * Support the processing and analysis of seismological, geological, geospatial, and consequence datasets relevant to earthquake hazard and risk assessment. * Operate, maintain, and support the improvement of existing hazard and risk models. * Contribute to the interpretation and communication of seismic hazard results for scientific, technical, and operational applications. * Contribute to reporting, technical documentation, and communication activities (internal and external). * Support the activities performed by the geo-hazard risk team. REQUIREMENTS * An academic degree in engineering seismology, earthquake engineering, structural engineering, geophysics, or a related discipline. A PhD degree in earthquake engineering, engineering seismology, or a related field is an advantage. * A minimum of 2 years of experience in the field of earthquake engineering
