[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD student in Urban Rainfall at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland

[Nadav Peleg]

*PhD student in Urban Rainfall*

*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/Python),
demonstrated through academic works (e.g. M.Sc. thesis and/or peer-reviewed
publications). Experience in handling large databases and knowledge in
statistics or spatial analysis are advantages. Excellent skills in written
and oral English are required. Knowledge of French language is preferable
but not necessary.
