An Experienced Researcher (ER, Post-doc) position is available for 18 months, based in Italy as part of the Marie Curie IAPP project 'Risk Management Software System for SMEs in the Construction Industry' (RiMaCon).
We are looking for a specialist in risk analysis and management, who has knowledge of the new and general tools and techniques of risk management.
This person must also have an understanding of business affairs and human behaviour, and know the key business functions in the construction sector, with the risks attached to them.
The Project is co-ordinated by the University of Wolverhampton and the researcher will be based with Vettorazzo Construction in Italy.

Description

The main goal of this project is to implement a collaborative effort to promote the sharing of knowledge and competences in a long-term strategic research partnership around the development, testing and validation of a cost-effective and user-friendly risk management system for SMEs in the construction sector. This new risk management system will improve productivity based on risk identification, analysis and proactive management. There is abundant evidence both from informal market research and industry surveys to confirm that SMEs are vulnerable and face a daily exposure to a wide variety of business risks while they operate without a risk management system in place.
