<div style="margin:0" align="justify"><font size="2" face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:11pt">The first position will focus in the spatiotemporal variability of precipitation and will be partially related to the coming EARTHCare satellite mission
of the European Space Agency. Applicants should have background in meteorology, statistics and/or computer science. Experience in remote sensing applications and/or machine learning techniques are going to be considered as an asset.</span></font></div>

<div style="margin:0" align="justify"><font size="2" face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:11pt">The second position is linked with stochastic analysis of past hydroclimatic variability. Paleoclimatic reconstructions will be used to examine the range
of past fluctuations and their applicability in the study of the intensification of water cycle. Ideal applicants should come from the fields of hydrology and/or statistics, while some experience in paleoclimatology and/or numerical modeling is also desirable.</span></font></div>
