Starting date: from 01.08.2021 Position duration: 4 years Thesis description: The PhD thesis will be part of the project “Rainfall and Floods in Future Cities”, founded by the SNSF Eccellenza. The overarching goal of the project is to improve the knowledge of how the magnitude and occurrence of floods will change in future cities following the changes that are foreseen to extreme rainfall events and intensities. In particular, for this position the candidate will focus on analyzing the space-time rainfall variability in urban environments using remote-sensing devices and ground sensors, and on understanding the urban climate processes that affect extreme rainfall. Candidate profile: The chosen candidate will have a master’s degree in atmospheric sciences, climate dynamics, environmental sciences, geosciences, physical geography, hydrometeorology, or a related domain. A requirement for this position is a good base in atmospheric processes and programming (e.g. Matlab...
