Politecnico di Torino is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Post-Doctoral Researcher to join our research team for a one-year renewable position (gross annual salary of 22000 €, meaning about 1620€/month netto). The successful candidate will play a key role in the PRIN-funded research project (Clim2FlEx - Mapping of climate to flood extremes) focused on developing a modeling chain for flood simulation on a regional scale (Greater Alpine Region). Together with climatologists from ISAC-CNR and University of Turin, we aim to better understand what are the large-scale predictors of climate extremes that are relevant to river floods and their change.
Key Responsibilities:
- Set up a continuous conceptual rainfall-runoff model for several catchments in the Greater Alpine Region.
- Use the model to identify and characterise observed and simulated flood events both at the local (catchment) and at the regional scale.
- Identify the climate indices most correlated to the indices of flood extremes.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary research teams, participating to meetings with fellow climate modellers in the project.
Qualifications:
- Hold a Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., Hydrology, Civil or Environmental Engineering, Earth Sciences, Geography, Statistics, or related disciplines).
- Background in numerical modeling and programming.
- Experience in hydrology and hydrological modelling.
- Proficiency in scientific software and data analysis tools.
- Strong written and oral communication skills in English (knowledge of Italian is a plus).
- Ability to work independently and as part of a research team.
Application Instructions:
- Interested candidates should submit the following application materials to alberto.viglione@polito.it:
- Cover letter detailing their research interests and qualifications.
- Curriculum Vitae (CV) including a list of publications.
- Contact information for at least two professional references.
- A brief research statement outlining their proposed contributions to the project.
Selection Process:
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview and may be asked to provide additional documentation related to their qualifications and experience.
Join us in advancing our understanding of the connection between climate and flood extremes. Apply now and be a part of groundbreaking research at Politecnico di Torino!
