The Department of Hydraulics and Hydrology of Czech Technical University in Prague invites applications for a fully funded PhD position focused on sediment transport and river morphological change during extreme floods. The position is part of the PICTUS PhD fellowship programme, co-funded by the European Union.

The PhD project will investigate intense sediment transport in fluvial systems, and the associated morphological changes caused by extreme hydrological events. The research will combine numerical modelling and laboratory modelling to improve the understanding of sediment-laden open-channel flows and their role in shaping riverbeds and torrent channels.

The project is motivated by the increasing frequency and severity of extreme hydrological events in the context of climate change, and by their impacts on river systems, infrastructure, flood risk, and landscape evolution.

The research field of sediment transport, river hydraulics, and fluvial morphodynamics is well established at the inviting department, providing the successful candidate with a strong scientific environment, access to relevant expertise, and appropriate modelling and laboratory facilities.
