PhD scholarship

PhD opportunity in Integrated Remote Sensing and Hydrological Modelling at Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II in Napoli, Italy . This project, hosted by HydroLAB in the DICEA department and coordinated by Prof. Salvatore Manfreda , focuses on combining remote sensing , hydrological modelling , water resources , water quality , GIS , and citizen science to build an integrated framework for monitoring rivers and inland waters. The research will use multi-source Earth observation and fiel...

PhD opportunity in climate-driven flood risk assessment and adaptation of urban drainage systems in Northern Italy. The project is hosted at Scuola Universitaria Superiore IUSS Pavia in Pavia, Italy, and focuses on the Province of Monza and Brianza , a highly urbanized area exposed to pluvial flooding. The research will assess how future climate projections may change the probability of extreme precipitation events and how those changes affect urban drainage systems . It builds on existing hydro...

PhD opportunity in smart water quality and safety monitoring for water distribution systems at The University of Sheffield as part of the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network i3WaterS (Intelligent, Innovative and Integrative Water Systems). The project focuses on artificial intelligence , machine learning , graph convolutional neural networks , time-series data mining , microbial contamination , biofilms , hydraulic modelling , and water quality monitoring for drinking water di...

PhD opportunity at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy in Flood risk in alpine areas under climate change: risk management and flood resilience . The project focuses on how climate change is reshaping flood regimes in Alpine regions, including winter floods, earlier peaks, snowmelt-driven changes, and more frequent short intense rainfall events. The research combines hydrology , river hydraulics , flood risk , climate change , extreme events , and nature-based solutions , with an emphasi...
