Dear all,

We are opening a postdoctoral position in our research group to work on the 4SeaFlood project. The project explores how storm surge, river discharge, sea waves, and intense rainfall interact to produce coastal flooding in the Adriatic Sea.

Institution: Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Rijeka (Croatia)
Project: 4SeaFlood – Compound Flooding in Coastal Croatia under Present and Future Climate (Croatian Science Foundation)

Supervisor: Dr. Nino Krvavica

Start Date: December 2025 / January 2026
Duration: 18 months

Application Deadline: 26 November 2025

Responsibilities

  • Process and analyze multi-source hydrometeorological datasets (storm surge, waves, river flow, rainfall).
  • Develop statistical workflows for joint probability and scenario definition.
  • Set up and run hydrodynamic models for tidal–fluvial and coastal domains.
  • Conduct spatial analysis and mapping in QGIS/ArcGIS.
  • Evaluate present-day and future compound-flood scenarios under climate change.

Requirements

  • PhD in hydrology, oceanography, coastal engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience in Python and/or R for data analysis and modelling.
  • Background in numerical modelling (coastal/river) and/or GIS.
  • Familiarity with time-series analysis, extreme-value methods, or tidal–fluvial dynamics is a plus.

We Offer

  • A role in a high-impact study with direct relevance to climate adaptation.
  • Gross salary: €55,000 for 18 months (approx. €1,800 net/month, depending on taxes).
  • Short-term mobility to leading EU institutions and active collaboration network.
  • Workplace: Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Rijeka, Croatia.

Interested?

Send a quick email (CV with a list of references and short intro is enough as a first step) to: nino.k...@uniri.hr. We will be happy to provide further details.

Feel free to forward / share.
