[轉知徵才訊息]Two Positions for 3-Years Researchers at University of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) - Deadline December 15th

Call n. 1 (out of 2):  3-years Researcher position in Quantitative Precipitation Nowcasting

The hydrology group at the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the University of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) is looking
for one researcher for three years, fully funded by the NextGeneration EU program for the GeoSciences IR Project, coordinated by ISPRA (The Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research). The project will set-up a national network of infrastructures to improve monitoring and risk assessment in the different sectors of Earth Sciences.

The successful candidate will develop, in close collaboration with the research unit, precipitation ensemble nowcasting procedures based on different techniques (optical flow and deep learning), preserving scaling properties of observed precipitation. Developments in Quantitative Precipitation Nowcasting (QPN) will be implemented for near-realtime processing in an operational perspective, with an emphasis on radar data merging to take advantage of different data sources. The researcher will develop and test procedures on radar data retrieved in Sardinia, and specifically on the urban area of Cagliari, as well as on other case studies of the GeoScience network (18 partners among Italian Universities and Research institutions).

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree (PhD or equivalent) with a master’s degree (or equivalent) in a relevant field (e.g., Hydrology, Engineering, Meteorology, Physics, Geosciences, ICT etc.) to apply.

The call is available at:

Call n. 2 (out of 2): 3-years Researcher position in Continuous Hydrological Modeling

he hydrology group at the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the University of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) is looking
for one full time research fellow (RTDa) for three years. The position is fully funded by the NextGeneration EU program by the project RETURN - multi-Risk sciEnce for resilienT commUnities undeR a changiNg climate.
The selected candidate will work under the activities of the project spoke "Water".

The successful candidate will tailor continuous hydrological models, specifically focused on arid ad intermittent watersheds, also in a
context of climate change. The research activity will lead to advanced modeling of ungauged basins hydrological response, with particular attention to flash floods. At the same time research will deepen the effects of droughts compounds events through the assessment of socio-hydrological direct impacts on the food sectors (i.e. wheat yield) and more generally on local ecosystems.

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree (PhD or equivalent) with a master’s degree (or equivalent) in a relevant field (e.g., Hydrology, Engineering, Physics, Geosciences, etc.) to apply.
