Italia CMCC - Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici A tempo pieno

CMCC Position Senior researcher on climate-related dynamics in the Critical Earth Zone

Deadline: November 15th , 2024

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

The Institute for Climate Resilience (ICR) of CMCC is at the forefront of interdisciplinary research that connects climate, ecosystems and society. Its mission is to empower decision-makers with the knowledge they need for both immediate actions and long-term planning, to help guide planning and investments toward a climate-resilient future.

ICR is launching a new Research Division on Soil and Water Systems (SOWAS) aimed at enhancing expertise in the Earth Critical Zone, the realm where atmosphere, ecosystems, water, soil & rock interact and which most of terrestrial life - including humanity – depends on.

In this context, we are looking for a highly organized and motivated Senior Researcher expert on various aspects involving the coupled soil and water systems across spatio-temporal scales, going deeper than the usual consideration of soil-water dynamics in the upper surface layers, and towards a more thorough understanding and more reliable reproduction of the Earth-Human system feedback. Examples of complementary - but not exhaustive - topics are:

  • Studying the interactions between surface water and groundwater, also connected to aquifer salinization;
  • Improving the representation of processes over hillslopes up to freshwater bodies, thus connecting upstream to downstream biophysical and biogeochemical cycles and soil-water quantity/quality aspects;
  • Looking at special overlooked but key ecosystems like permafrost, peatlands, wetlands, riparian zones;
  • Investigating the destabilization effects due to extreme events and other disturbances;
  • Feedbacks between underground soil structure, properties, organisms, and water dynamics and climate.

According to the Division’s (and Institute’s) Plans, the Senior Researcher will contribute to the Division's Strategic Plan and the Three-Year Budget for the Division's scientific activities.

RESPONSIBILITIES
