Si segnalano due posizioni da RTDa, della durata di 3 anni ognuna, aperte presso l’Università di Cagliari. La deadline per presentare domanda è fissata al 15 Dicembre 2022. Maggiori informazioni sulle due posizioni in oggetto di seguito: 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 (TheItalian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research). Theproject will set-up a national network of infrastructures to improvemonitoring and risk assessment in the different sectors of EarthSciences. The successful candidate will develop, in close collaboration with the research unit, precipitation ensemble nowcasting procedures based ondifferent techniques (optical flow and deep learning), preservingscaling properties of observed precipitation. Developments inQuantitative Precipitation Nowcasting (QPN) will be implemented fornear-realtime processing in an operational perspective, with anemphasis on radar data merging to take advantage of different data sources. Theresearcher will develop and test procedures on radar data retrieved inSardinia, and specifically on the urban area of Cagliari, as well ason other case studies of the GeoScience network (18 partners amongItalian Universities and Research institutions). Applicants must hold a doctoral degree (PhD or equivalent) with amaster’s degree (or equivalent) in a relevant field (e.g.,Hydrology, Engineering, Meteorology, Physics, Geosciences, ICT etc.) to apply. The call is available at: https://dirpersonale.unica.it/concorsi/valutazione/bandi_doc/materiale/ricercatori_td/1058_2022.zip (rtda11_29D_1122_08/A1) The deadline is December 15th and application must be completed online here https://pica.cineca.it/ For further details and information on the online application, please contact Roberto Deidda, rdeidda@unica.it or Maria Grazia Badas, mgbadas@unica.it ————————– Call n. 2 (out of 2): 3-years Researcher position in Continuous Hydrological Modeling The 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 projectspoke “Water”. The successful candidate will tailor continuous hydrological models,specifically focused on arid ad intermittent watersheds, also in acontext of climate change. The research activity will lead to advanced modeling of ungauged basins hydrological response, with particularattention to flash floods. At the same time research will deepen theeffects of droughts compounds events through the assessment ofsocio-hydrological direct impacts on the food sectors (i.e. wheatyield) and more generally on local ecosystems. Applicants must hold a doctoral degree (PhD or equivalent) with amaster’s degree (or equivalent) in a relevant field (e.g., Hydrology,Engineering, Physics, Geosciences, etc.) to apply.
