Postdoctoral Position in Hydrological and Climate Change Modelling at University of Padova

The University of Padova in Italy is offering a 2-year postdoctoral research position in the Department of Land, Environment, Agriculture and Forestry. The focus of this opportunity is on hydrological and climate change modelling at convection-permitting scale, with the project titled “Improvement of a Hydrological Digital Twin.” The research aims to advance modeling approaches that integrate hydrology, climate simulations, and geospatial analysis, making it ideal for candidates interested in environmental science, civil engineering, and data-driven climate research. Applicants should have a PhD in civil engineering, environmental science, or a related field. Essential qualifications include experience in hydrological modelling, climate model output analysis, and geospatial analysis, as well as strong programming skills in Python, Fortran, or R. Excellent scientific writing and communication skills are required. Preference will be given to candidates with experience applying machine learning to hydrology or climate change analysis. The position is based at the University of Padova, a leading institution in Italy, and offers the chance to work on cutting-edge research at the intersection of hydrology, climate modeling, and environmental data science. The application deadline is February 17, 2026. For further information or questions, applicants may contact Marco Borga at [email protected].
