[Carlo Gaetan]

*Apologies for cross-posting*

Applications are invited  *within 26/06/2019, 12.00 noon* for a research 
position
(Assegno di Ricerca) at the Department of Environmental Sciences, 
Informatics and Statistics,
Ca' Foscari University of Venice (Italy)



Title:  Space-time modelling of rainfall extremes

Short description of the project:

The aim of the project is to simulate extreme rain events that reproduce 
the spatial
and temporal variability observed in the Venice lagoon. These 
simulations will have
to be combined with realistic simulations of the entire rain process
in order to constitute the input for impact models.
Models will be fitted on observed data and on reanalysis data.
For the extreme rain events we will follow an approach based Peak Over 
Threshold (POT)
which allows simulations on the scale of more realistic events
with respect to approaches based on the maximum of a block of observations.
After the estimation phase the simulation will be possible.

Duration of contract: 18 months , approximately starting: July/August 2019

Who can apply: prospective candidates are expected to hold a Master of 
Science degree in
                Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics
                (a Phd degree in the fields is preferred).

Stipend: The research fellowship amounts to 29050,50 Euros for 18 
months, including taxes and social charges.

Deadline for submission of applications: 26/06/2019, 12.00 noon.
