Project 1
Project: INCIPIT - INtegrated Computer modeling and monitoring for Irrigation Planning in Italy.
The INCIPIT project aims to develop and test a set of methodologies capable of providing analytical and forecast information useful for the management and planning of irrigation use of water resources at different spatial scales and in different conditions of hydraulic and meteorological data availability. The project includes seven study areas distributed throughout Italy, where data will be collected and different models for estimating irrigation needs and uses will be implemented.
Candidates shall possess the following skills and experience:
- expertise in the use and processing of Remote Sensing products;
- knowledge of hydrology and mathematical modeling;
- experience in the use of GIS software and tools;
- knowledge of scientific computing environments (Matlab, R);
- good knowledge of the English language.

Project 2
Project: OPTAIN - OPtimal strategies to retAIN and re-use water and nutrients in small agricultural catchments across different soil-climatic regions in Europe.
The OPTAIN project, funded under the EU Horizon 2020 program, aims to: identify efficient techniques for the retention and reuse of water and nutrients in small agricultural basins in the biogeographical regions of Continental, Pannonian and Boreal Europe; select NSWRM at farm and basin level; optimize their allocation and spatial combination, on the basis of environmental and economic sustainability indicators, with the involvement of stakeholders.
The Post-Doc’s activity will be focused on the implementation of the SWAT+ hydrological model for the Italian case study of the Cherio river basin, northern Italy. Candidates shall possess the following skills and experience:
- knowledge of hydrology and mathematical modeling in the field of hydrology/river water quality;
- experience in the use of hydrological models at the basin scale;
- competence in the treatment of time series of agro-meteorological and hydrological data;
- experience in the use of GIS software and tools;
- knowledge of scientific computing environments (Matlab, R);
- good knowledge of the English language.

Project 3
Project: MONAlISa (mathematical MODels and NAture-based solutions for Improving combined Sewer overflows management and reuse) The main objective of the project is to implement a modeling tool for managing the quantity and the quality of runoff and combined sewer overflows through avant-grade combination of nature-based solutions, gray, green and blue infrastructures, exploiting in an innovative way the self-purification capacity of the agro-urban environments and rural canals. The project also focuses on the microbiological aspects of surface waters and their relationships with the hydrological characteristics of the territory under study.
Candidates should have a master degree in the main scientific disciplines such as physic, mathematic, informatic, civil or environmental engineering, agricultural or environmental sciences, with good knowledge in programming languages e.g. Matlab, R etc. and data analysis. A background in fluid dynamics, hydraulic and hydrology is appreciated. A proficient English level and a full availability to make on-field measurement campaigns is required.
