We offer a PhD position In the project `Data driven risk management for fire services' funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO).
This project aims to develop a flexible hierarchical statistical framework for the analysis and prediction of various types of fires and will be carried out in close cooperation with the Twente Fire Brigade. It will deliver a model for spatio-temporal inference (including monitoring, filtering and prediction), that is able to recognize patterns in historic data and convert these to a prediction. This will be the challenge.
The results can be used for both repression and prevention purposes, including improving vehicle and personnel planning in the fire stations, informing the right people at the right time and evaluating the effectivity of public awareness campaigns.
