*PhD Programme in Science and Management of Climate Change (3 years) **
**CALL FOR APPLICATIONS A.Y. 2015-2016*
The PhD Programme in Science and Management of Climate Change is jointly
organized by the Ca' Foscari University of Venice and the
Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change (CMCC), an integrated,
multi-disciplinary frontier research center for understanding,
controlling and adapting to Climate Change.
_Application deadline___
The Call for Applications for the academic year 2014/2015 will be closed
on April 24th, 2015, h. 1.00 pm CEST
_Application information and forms _
The Call for Application (PDF File), general information, and forms for
the PhD Programme on Science and Management of Climate Change can be
downloaded at
*[eng]* http://www.unive.it/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=173236
*[ita]* http://www.unive.it/pag/7738/
_Availble positions_: 10, including 8 with scholarships
*Objectives of the PhD *
The main objectives of this PhD Programme are to provide the job market
with experts with a broad, in-depth, scientific and socio-economic
background, as well as with a sound and innovative research experience
focusing on the dynamics of climate change, the design and execution of
numerical and mathematical models of the climate and the economy, the
methodologies and techniques for evaluation, management and assessment,
in terms of mitigation and adaptation measures and policies.
Students gain in-depth understanding of climate processes and their
interactions, ranging from the molecular to the global scale and from
short-term phenomena to changes over millions of years. They will be
prepared to understand the impacts of current changes in climate as well
as the mitigation and adaptation policies put in place.
All this gives to outstanding young scientists a deep scientific
knowledge and personal skills to take leadership roles in academia, in
consulting firms, as well as in the energy and insurance sectors, in
public administration positions and in the private sector.
Our final goal is to provide the people, products, policy and leadership
to confront the challenge of climate change at a global scale, creating
new opportunities for innovators to shape the world?s next economy
*Organisation of the PhD Programme*
The Programme is organised in two Streams:
?Dynamic climatology, at CMCC in Bologna
?Climate change impact and management, at the Department of Economics of
the University Ca? Foscari in Venice
The programme, taught in English, lasts for three years.
Twelve courses are planned for the first academic year, in order to
provide students with the state of the art of the scientific findings
related to the two disciplinary streams.
Courses details available at the web page http://www.unive.it/data/7886/
Common activities offers tools to build a sound scientific, managerial
and economic base for the general comprehension of the broader theme of
climate change, with the opportunity for in depth studies of specific
issues and for experiencing a multidisciplinary approach.
The second year is aimed at providing the PhD candidates with an
experience of research in a foreign institution, while the third year is
mainly devoted to the preparation of the thesis which will be externally
reviewed by international referees.
Please forward to anyone who may be interested. Apologies for cross posting.
