The University of Trento AES Ph.D. program is seeking outstanding STEM graduates for two innovative PhD positions at the forefront of environmental science and computational modeling:
- PHYSICS-INFORMED MACHINE LEARNING FOR SMART IRRIGATION Develop cutting-edge PIML frameworks integrating physical principles with data-driven methods to create predictive, real-time modeling tools for sustainable water management. Co-funded by Fondazione Bruno Kessler.
- ADVANCED SOIL BIOTA-HYDRAULICS INTERFACE Work on the WHETGEO-GEOSPACE system to model dynamic interactions between soil biota activity and hydraulic properties, using the Kosugi water retention curve model and implementing population dynamics modules.
IDEAL CANDIDATES: • Strong background in environmental science, engineering, physics, computer science, or related fields • Programming skills in Python/Java (or eagerness to learn) • Passion for sustainability and environmental modeling
ENHANCED COMPENSATION: These positions offer €200/month above standard Italian PhD grants. Further compensation of €250/month could be available according to candidate skills.
