> Project description
>
> 1)
> The specific scientific area the fellow would work in Joint Research
> Centre Project: Information Systems for effective and rapid external
> action (ISFEREA)[http://dma.jrc.it/isferea/] The overall aim of
> ISFEREA is to improve the visibility, transparency, effectiveness and
> efficiency of EU efforts in humanitarian aid by developing
> technologies and systems to supply timely and reliable information to
> the European Commission and to humanitarian organizations on the
> ground. Work includes developing methods for better estimation of
> population vulnerability, severity of earthquakes, automatic damage
> assessment using remotely sensed imagery, pre crisis warning,
> performance indicators and work on migration flows. The objective of
> the proposed work on migration would be to identify hot spots for
> immigration on Europe’s Eastern borders. We would first analyse
> existing statistics from EUROSTAT and UNHCR. We can then see if these
> can be correlated with physical features identified from maps or
> images in order to produce a “border permeability” map. Once the
> hot-spots are identified, a strategy for monitoring them would be
> developed. The activity would be part of JRC’s contribution to the
> GMOSS Network of Excellence
> (http://intelligence.jrc.cec.eu.int/gmoss/gmoss.html). One of the
> twelve scientific work packages in the network - "border monitoring" -
> is being led by JRC.
>
2) The requested qualifications the fellow should have A Master degree
> or equivalent in population studies related to migration. Experience
> on new accession countries and geospatial data analysis would be a
> plus.
