• Additional experience with slope stability modelling (e.g., Slope/W, Slide), geotechnical or infrastructure design is advantageous
• Willingness to travel internationally for periods of fieldwork
• A second language is desirable; fluency in English is essential
• Must have the right to work in the UK
