Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is « experience »: the real filter is not only the PhD, but the ability to demonstrate direct use of satellite image processing, multi-source databases, and numerical modelling in coastal geomorphology. In the CV, make one project, one Python or Matlab code example, and one concrete result stand out for each technical block, rather than listing skills. If your thesis is related but not identical, explicitly connect it to the VIGICOAST project and dune dynamics. The right move is to submit a CV that proves this continuity and a short cover letter that draws the link before 15 November 2026.
