PhD scholarship at the Politecnico di Torino on Urban Flood Hazard assessment
Universita di Catania, , Italy
Apply before: 16 September 2023


In the framework of the “Water Risks” curriculum of the National PhD School "Defence against natural hazards and ecological transition of the built environment", we are looking for motivated PhD candidates to work on the topic “Resilience of critical water drainage infrastructures against urban flood hazard”.


The successful candidate will investigate and develop integrated hydrologic and hydraulic methods to quantify the residual flood hazard affecting the urban areas impacted by intense rainstorms, heading to the consequent adaptation of the Civil Protection plans. A plus for the successful candidature is a strong background in Hydrology and in computational hydraulics. The detailed research program is attached and is also available here: https://tinyurl.com/47w5rxn9 Deadline: September 16
