----------------------------------------

 

Two PhD grants fully funded by the Department of Excellence program of the Italian Ministry of University and Research are available at the Department of Civil Environmental and Mechanical Engineering of the University of Trento. The grants are in the following two research topics: 

1) Combined effects of climate change and water uses on water resources: digital twins of the intertwined natural and anthropogenic systems (Scholarship A4 in the list of topics; proponents Alberto Bellin and Bruno Majone )

The interested candidate can choose between the following two sub-topics:

● Modeling the impact of water uses and climate change on groundwater resources;

● Hydropower generation in the Italian Alpine Region under a changing climate.

 

2) Micro and nano materials in rivers and aquifers (Scholarship A5 in the list of topics; proponents Alberto Bellin and Alessandra Marzadri)

The interested candidate can choose between the following two sub-topics: 

● Hydrodynamic of micro- and nanoparticles; 

● Modelling the transport of nano- and micro-plastics in surface and subsurface water bodies.

 

A detailed description of the proposed research for the above grants is available here

 

Applications  should be submitted online

 https://www.unitn.it/en/ateneo/1954/announcement-of-selection

By July 26 2021 at 16:00  CET

To apply for the above two grants please select curriculum A, scholarships A4 for the first and A5 for the second. The application to both scholarships is possible, though the applicant is required to present a written proposal on only one of the two.
