Offer Description The Researcher shall carry out research activities consistent with the scope of the Scientific Disciplinary Sector GEOS-02/C – Structural Geology and Tectonics. The primary research focus will be the study of tectonic deformation and geological structures through fieldwork, structural analysis and laboratory investigations, with particular emphasis on active tectonics, earthquake geology and the processes responsible for seismicity. Research activities will also address the geological subsurface for the energy transition, including geological storage of CO2 and hydrogen, geothermal energy and the sustainable use of geological resources. Research activities, also conducted in collaboration with leading national and international research groups, research institutions and industrial partners, shall produce results suitable for publication in international peer-reviewed scientific journals and dissemination at national and international conferences. The Researcher is also expected to participate in national and international competitive funding calls in structural geology and tectonics. The Researcher shall contribute to third mission, science communication and student outreach activities, including the Scientific Degrees Programme (Piano Lauree Scientifiche), with particular emphasis on seismic hazard, the sustainable use of geological resources and the energy transition. The Researcher shall undertake teaching, supplementary teaching and student support activities within SSD GEOS-02/C in the Bachelor's Degree Programme in Geological Sciences and the Master's Degree Programme in Geological Sciences Applied to Environmental Sustainability. The Researcher shall also contribute to the PhD Programme in Earth Sciences through advanced laboratory and field training. Teaching activities will consist of lectures, classroom and laboratory exercises, field trips and geological and structural field mapping, data analysis and interpretation, student support, and participation in course assessments and final degree examinations. Specifically, teaching duties will include 48 hours in Structural Geology within the Bachelor's Degree Programme in Geological Sciences, comprising 40 hours of field trips and 8 hours of structural analysis and interpretation of field data, and 40 hours in Earthquake Geology and Seismic Risk within the Master's Degree Programme, with responsibility for field activities. The Researcher shall also contribute to the course on Geology of Storage Systems for the Energy Transition. Teaching duties within the courses, in their various formats, shall not exceed 120 hours, in accordance with University regulations
