From CSDMS
PhD in sediment connectivity
University of Padova, , Italy
Apply before: 25 October 2021


the Department of Geosciences of the University of Padova offers a fully funded 3 years PhD scholarship on topics related with sediment connectivity, sediment transport and fluvial geomorphology. The candidate will be required to apply network scale sediment transport models and carry out field works using remote sensing techniques, such as drones, and collecting sediment transport data. This PhD opportunity is within a wider research project aiming at developing methods, models, and tools to improve our capacity to predict how river management measures and climatic changes at basin scale affect river connectivity, morphology and, in the end, ecological processes.


Interested candidates should have basic knowledge about fluvial geomorphology, and sediment transport, and some experience with geospatial modeling (e.g.; Matlab, Python, GIS etc…).


Deadline for application is fast approaching and I encourage any interested candidate to write to me for additional information and send me before the 25th of October a CV and a short motivational letter.
