PhD Scholarships at University of Trieste

ICTP’s Earth Systems Physics Section is pleased to promote an open call for scientists interested in earning a PhD at the intersection of Earth sciences, fluid dynamics, & mathematics. A collaborative programme run with the University of Trieste (UniTS) and the Italian National Institute for Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS), the deadline for applications is June 17, 2020, at 13:00 CET. All information regarding applications can be found on the University of Trieste website. 

The main research lines covered by the programme include: environmental fluid mechanics, fluid mechanics in industrial and technological processes, and in biological systems; solid and fluid earth geophysics and geology; mathematical methods and modeling in fluid mechanics and in geophysics, differential equations and inverse problems: qualitative, computational, and numerical aspects; and development and use of Data Science techniques, both for the construction of statistical big-data black-box models and for the analysis of complex models by using machine learning methods. 

ICTP climatologists contribute advising and teaching, while several fellowships from ICTP allow students to explore a wide range of subjects, from climate dynamics to fluid mechanics. The duration of the PhD programme is three years, and it is taught in English.
