Politecnico di Torino is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Post-Doctoral Researcher to join our research team for a one-year renewable position. The successful candidate will play a key role in the PRIN-funded research project (E-CAPTURE) focused on carbon budgeting in fluvial dynamics. This interdisciplinary project aims to advance our understanding of carbon transport and cycling in river systems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop a Lagrangian model for log transport in rivers to enhance our understanding of fluvial dynamics.
- Conduct field measurements and data collection to validate and refine the model.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary research teams.
- Participate in a period of training at the University of Trento to enhance research capabilities.
Qualifications:
- Hold a Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., Environmental Engineering, Earth Sciences, Hydrology, Geophysics, or related disciplines).
- Background in numerical modeling and programming.
- Experience in river dynamics, sediment transport, or related areas.
- Proficiency in scientific software and data analysis tools.
- Strong written and oral communication skills in English (knowledge of Italian is a plus).
- Ability to work independently and as part of a research team.
- Willingness to travel for fieldwork and training purposes.
