PhD Opportunities in Hydrology in Italy

The University of Luxembourg is seeking a doctoral researcher to join the GLITTER Doctoral Network and the Luxembourg Centre for Socio-Environmental Systems (LCSES) at Belval Campus. The project is hosted within the Water Availability, Variability & Scarcity (WAVES) research group, which combines Earth observation with modeling to understand water availability and scarcity across regions and seasons. The doctoral project focuses on spaceborne Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNS...

The International Doctoral Programme Environment Water (ENWAT) at the University of Stuttgart is an interdisciplinary doctoral programme hosted by the Civil and Environmental Engineering Sciences Department. It brings together doctoral researchers working on water-related environmental topics and currently includes roughly 50 doctoral candidates. The programme is broad by design: the specific dissertation topic depends on the participating institute and the current research directions available ...

Funded Master's and PhD research opportunity in flood risk and engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. The project focuses on compound flooding, including interactions among debris, structures and waves, and the assessment of flood risk. Students will use numerical modelling, machine learning and remote sensing to investigate complex flood hazards and their consequences. The research is based in the COMPOUND Flood Lab within the Maseeh Department of Civil, Architectural and Environment...

Hazem U. Abdelhady , Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University, is seeking one Ph.D. student to join his lab in Summer or Fall 2027. The opportunity is centered on coastal and hydrodynamic research, with potential projects involving hydrodynamic modeling, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, coastal processes, and coastal morphodynamics. The student will work in a research environment focused on understanding and modeling coastal systems and their dynamic behavior. The op...

This PhD project at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is hosted by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in Trondheim and sits within the interdisciplinary STRIDE initiative, part of NTNU’s broader More Resilient Society programme. The project focuses on how interdependent multi-hazards affect transport systems when climate-driven events and security threats occur together. It studies converging hazards such as storms, floods, and water-induced landslides alon...

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is recruiting a full-time PhD Candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in Trondheim, Norway. The four-year project, Impacts of Interdependent Multi-Hazards on Transport Systems , is part of the STRIDE initiative under NTNU's More Resilient Society programme. The research will examine how climate-driven hazards—including intense storms, floods, and water-induced landslides—interact with acute security threats such...

PhD Position: Movement Ecology at Radboud University in the Netherlands. This PhD project studies how climate change and freshwater availability shape the year-round movements of migratory waterbirds, using the greater white-fronted goose ( Anser albifrons ) as a model species. The project connects a unique long-term individual tracking dataset with remote sensing products to examine how geese respond to snow cover, freshwater availability, breeding success, and changing temperatures across bree...

Hawaiʻi Mesonet is recruiting for three opportunities at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa: a full-time Mesonet field technician based on Oʻahu, a Maui-based postdoctoral researcher, and a PhD student. The postdoctoral position combines Mesonet instrumentation with hydrology and artificial intelligence research. The PhD opportunity focuses on remote sensing, reservoirs, and AI-assisted hazard monitoring. These positions may suit applicants interested in fieldwork, environmental observation, hyd...

PhD Student Position in Environmental Hydrology and Hydroecology The Chattopadhyay Hydroecology Lab at Texas State University is recruiting a PhD student in environmental hydrology to begin in August 2027. The research will combine ecohydrologic modelling and fieldwork in the Texas Hill Country to investigate how floods, droughts, stream drying, climate change, land use, and water demand are reshaping Texas rivers and aquatic ecosystems. Potential research directions include identifying when and...
