About this position

Two research opportunities are advertised within the NATURA project at OGS Trieste and the University of Padova, centered on AI, Earth Observation, geospatial modelling, landslide susceptibility, hydrometeorological modelling, and socio-economic vulnerability.

PhD opportunity: a fully funded PhD at the University of Padova / OGS on AI-driven geospatial data integration and hydrometeorological modelling for landslide hazard assessment. The project aims to advance dynamic landslide risk assessment by integrating high-resolution geospatial data, Earth Observation, AI models, physical modelling, and human-dimension risk indicators. Supervisors listed are Sansar Raj Meena and Filippo Catani.

Post-doc / research positions: two positions at OGS Trieste on socio-economic vulnerability analysis and AI-based landslide susceptibility modelling. These roles are aimed at researchers with backgrounds in geosciences, remote sensing, GIS, artificial intelligence, deep learning, environmental modelling, disaster risk, or socio-economic vulnerability assessment.

Funding: the PhD is explicitly fully funded. The post-doc/research positions are research contracts; the post does not provide salary details. The University of Padova call also mentions increased scholarship amounts and some accommodation places for doctoral positions, depending on the specific course sheet.
