The Institute of Environment and Sustainability of the Joint European Research Center is interested to host qualified and dynamic researchers who would like to apply for a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship in the following topics:

– Numerical modeling of waves, storm surge and inundation at large scales (minimum regional, preferably continental/global), for short, medium, or long term forecasting

– Coastal impact assessment methodologies

– Evaluation of adaptation options in view of climate change

Benefits:

Apart from the beneficial conditions of the MC program (see https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunities/h2020/topics/2226-msca-if-2016.html), being part of the Joint European Research Center offers several unique opportunities:

– located in Ispra, Italy at a beautiful location, inside a campus with impressive facilities

– a unique international environment with >2000 employees, covering almost all scientific areas

– opportunity to do research focused on the main EU priorities and in direct connection with Brussels

Ideal candidates should have the following characteristics:

– Researchers with a PhD on areas like coastal/ocean modeling, coastal impact assessment, climate change impacts, coastal adaptation

– An impressive career record (given that MC competitions are very competitive, at least 5 and preferably >10 journal publications are required)
