PhD Opportunities in Geography in Spain

The Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) is advertising a PhD opportunity in Barcelona focused on assessing the current and future impacts of hydro-geomorphological and geological hazards on linear infrastructures in Catalonia. The doctoral research will use a multi-scale approach to investigate how natural hazards affect infrastructure systems such as transport and other geographically extended networks. The project connects geological and geomorphological analysis with the assessment of p...

This PhD opening at the Autonomous University of Madrid is centered on singularity theory at the intersection of topology and complex algebraic geometry . The project invites a doctoral researcher to work on mathematical questions related to the geometry and topology of complex varieties, with a particular emphasis on singular phenomena and their structure. The advertised research themes include applications of Hodge theory to singularities and the topological properties of smooth quasiprojectiv...
