PhD Position F/M Resilience of Telecommunication Infrastructures to Climate Change — Modeling, Impact Analysis, and Adaptation Strategies for Next-Generation Networks

Doctoral research, funded by PEPR Carecloud and shared between the Inria COATI team and the SIGNET team at I3S, on how climate hazards affect fixed and mobile telecommunication networks. The thesis builds an automated, data-driven methodology that couples meteorological time series, incident reports, RIPE Atlas measurements and network topology across France into vulnerability indices; designs statistical models that separate climate-driven failures from cascades through dependent infrastructure such as the power grid; and simulates future networks under IPCC climate scenarios to propose hardening, redeployment and emergency routing strategies for regulators and operators.

A graduate (master's) degree or equivalent. Thirty-six-month fixed-term contract with PhD-student status starting 1 February 2027, at EUR 2,300 gross per month. Applications are submitted online on the Inria website.
