About this position

This PhD project examines how artificial intelligence, numerical modelling and field observations can improve coastal flood forecasting. The doctoral researcher will join the SHORECAST project at the Maritime Engineering Laboratory of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (LIM/UPC) in Barcelona, Spain.

The research will investigate how changing beach morphology influences coastal flooding along the Spanish Mediterranean coast. The project combines coastal-process analysis, oceanographic data, numerical simulations and field observations to understand and predict changes in shoreline position and flood extent.

A major focus will be the development of machine-learning and deep-learning models supported by XBeach modelling. These AI-based approaches will be used to create faster and more reliable predictions for coastal early warning systems. The researcher will also contribute to uncertainty assessment and to the application of predictive tools for flood-risk management.

The doctoral candidate will work in the interdisciplinary environment of LIM/UPC, connecting maritime engineering, coastal science, computational modelling and data-driven research. The project is supervised by César Mösso and Xavier Sánchez-Artús and offers an opportunity to contribute to research on coastal resilience and early warning technologies.

Funding details

Full-time PhD position for up to four years with a gross annual salary of approximately €25,457, subject to the official call.

What's required

Applicants should hold a master’s degree in coastal, civil or environmental engineering, marine sciences, oceanography, data science, physics, applied mathematics or a related field. Background in coastal processes, numerical modelling and machine learning is valuable, along with programming skills in Python and/or MATLAB. Further eligibility requirements are provided in the official call.

How to apply

Review the eligibility requirements and application instructions in the official call, then apply through the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya electronic administration portal. Select the SHORECAST project (PID2025-175483NB-I00) when submitting the application.
