From CSDMS
Seeking a PhD candidate at RISED laboratory
University of Zagreb, , Croatia
Apply before: 17 October 2025


The Laboratory for River and Sediment Dynamics group (https://rised.grad.hr/en/) at the Faculty of Civil Engineering Zagreb (Croatia) is recruiting an PhD student to work within a 6-years research project on the hydraulics of sediment transport.


We invite applications for a PhD position focused on sediment transport dynamics, with a particular emphasis on data processing and analysis. The successful candidate will work on advanced data acquisition and processing techniques, including Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) data acquiring and processing, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data processing and video Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV). The research interests are closely related to the iNNO SED project activities (https://innosed.eu/).

The job is mostly laboratory-based, while other research duties to support the work of the principal investigators may be required, such as field work campaigns and co-supervision of undergraduate and graduate students within the scope of their final theses.

Join us and become a part of an international research group, taking advantage of a long-term contract and international mobility opportunities.

We welcome applications candidates with background in civil/environmental engineering or applied geomorphology, and with a strong interest in experimental work, field campaigns, numerical modelling, and machine learning.


Primary supervisor: Professor Gordon Gilja, University of Zagreb Faculty of Civil Engineering.
