Position: Call for Expression of Interest for MSCA Postdoctoral fellowships at UNIGE – N. 47 Future Coast[...]
Description - Call for Expression of Interest for a joint application under the upcoming Call for MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026
University of Genoa, UNIGE, located in Genoa, ITALY, welcomes postdoctoral researchers of any nationality, with an excellent track record, to apply to the European Commission Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026. Our University has been beneficiary of several MSCA-PF in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe.
The Marie Sklodowska Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship is one of funding scheme of the European Commission’s Horizon Europe Research & Innovation programme, dedicated to excellent research promoting international mobility, as well as interdisciplinary and intersect oral exchanges.
MSCA fellowship grant provides a competitive salary plus mobility and family allowances if applicable, as well as a contribution to cover research, training and networking costs. The research projects will have 2- or 3-years duration.
Selected candidates will be provided with special support for proposal writing and development.
The University of Genoa will organize in May the fifth edition of the Masterclass MSCAected candidate researchers will have the opportunity to attend a 2-days online intensive training and coaching course on how to write a successful proposal. This masterclass is a pathway of support to candidates and their supervisors in preparing project proposal, including prescreening activity of the draft proposals and the organisation of dedicated B2B meetings, by the European Research Office of Uni Ge, National Contact Point and other experts.
The masterclass will take place in Spring 2026.
MSCA domain:
Information Science and Engineering (ENG);
Environmental and Geosciences (ENV)
Research Project Description
Candidatures are invited in the broad field of Coastal Oceanography and Engineering, with particular emphasis on research addressing coastal hazards and risks, including shoreline erosion and coastal flooding. Proposals that investigate the dynamics of extreme events in the context of climate change—such as ocean wave extremes and storm surge variability—are especially encouraged and will be strongly supported by the research group.
In addition, research focusing on dispersion processes, transport dynamics, and mixing mechanisms in the coastal zone is of high interest, as these processes play a critical role in ecosystem functioning, sediment dynamics, and coastal resilience. Interdisciplinary approaches that integrate observations, numerical modelling, and theoretical analysis to improve understanding of coastal processes and their responses to climate variability and human pressures are particularly welcome.
Research Group
The research group is an interdisciplinary team dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge across a broad spectrum of fields, encompassing atmospheric processes, ocean and coastal dynamics, and the development of innovative coastal engineering solutions. Its work aims to support the sustainable management and protection of natural and coastal systems in the context of a rapidly changing climate. By integrating theoretical frameworks, observational data, and numerical modelling, the group seeks to improve understanding of complex environmental processes and to contribute to evidence-based strategies for enhancing coastal resilience and adaptation.
