Postdoc: Coastal Bathymetry, Remote Sensing & Hydrodynamics

Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research; Italia; On-site; EUR 32,000 - 42,000; Part time

Job summary

Università Ca' Foscari Venezia invites applications for an international research fellowship focusing on bathymetric mapping and coastal habitat assessment in Fiji, the Seychelles, and Belize.

The project combines remote sensing with direct field surveys to study wave attenuation by mangroves, coral reefs, and seagrass meadows, and develops numerical hydrodynamic models using XBeach with measured boundary conditions and future climate scenarios.

Qualifications

• Bathymetric and coastal mapping using remote sensing and field surveys.
• Hydrodynamic modelling with climate scenarios and measured boundary conditions.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement numerical hydrodynamic models using XBeach.
• Integrate remote sensing data with field observations to map coastal habitats.
• Carry out bathymetric mapping tasks across study areas.
