Background on global and local water cycle and hydrological processes. Background on statistics and probability: experience in the treatment and analysis of meteo-climatic and hydrological data will be positively evaluated.Familiarity with programming languages such as MATLAB, R, Python, etc.

The research team will involve researchers of the Hydrology Group at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Architecture (DICAAR) at the University of Cagliari (Italy). Further cooperation is foreseen with other research bodies and universities, in Italy and abroad (e.G., Arizona State University, University of Reading, University of Patras, University of Quebec, the Center for Advanced Studies, Research and Development in Sardinia, among others; as well as water management authorities and civil protection agencies). The research activities include hydraulic and hydrologic modelling, statistical hydrology, climate change impacts and are supported by several national and international grants.
