About this position
University College Cork invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Researcher/Senior Post-Doctoral Researcher position within the Offshore Renewable Energy Research Group at the MaREI SFI Research Centre, part of the Sustainability Institute. This full-time, 18-month fixed-term post offers the opportunity to contribute to the Interreg Atlantic Area funded AOFFTECH project, which aims to advance floating offshore wind technologies, support decarbonisation, and foster energy independence across the European Atlantic Area.
The successful candidate will join a dynamic team led by Dr Frances Judge and Dr Jimmy Murphy, working on technology development, logistics, and LCOE modelling for the offshore renewable energy (ORE) sector. The role involves leading UCC’s participation in the AOFFTECH consortium, collaborating with partners such as Asime (Spain), Marine Institute (Ireland), PLOCAN (Spain), Universidade da Coruna (Spain), Adene (Portugal), Norwegian Offshore Wind (Norway), and University of Nantes (France). Key responsibilities include governance and stakeholder engagement, data analysis, and device testing at the Lir National Ocean Test Facility.
The position is based at the MaREI Centre, Beaufort Building, Ringaskiddy, Co. Cork. The ideal candidate will hold a PhD in offshore renewable energy or a related discipline, possess excellent technical and research skills, and demonstrate versatility in project activities. Experience in stakeholder engagement, governance, and data analysis is highly valued.
Funding is provided through the AOFFTECH project, with a competitive salary: Post-Doctoral Researcher (€46,306 - €52,863 p.a., IUA PD1 Salary Scale) or Senior Post-Doctoral Researcher (€54,307 - €59,064 p.a., IUA PD2 Salary Scale).
