Post-Doctoral / Senior Post-Doctoral Researcher - Sustainability Institute University College Cork in Ireland

PhD project in AI for ship design and marine engineering The Department of Ocean Operations and Civil Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is offering a PhD position focused on artificial intelligence for accelerated concept evaluation and tender-phase ship design. The research will develop methods that make early-stage marine design faster, more efficient and better informed. The project will investigate AI-based generation and exploration of marine design co...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in turbulence, drag, rough surfaces, and fluid mechanics . This project, based in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, investigates how roughness geometry changes turbulent boundary layers and drag. The research combines advanced wind-tunnel experiments, 3D Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV), and direct drag measurements to build new geometry-dependent drag models and expand an internationally used roughness database. The work is hig...

Newcastle University is advertising two PhD studentships through the Process Industries Net Zero (PINZ) Centre for Doctoral Training, focused on offshore energy and maritime decarbonisation. The research is connected with industrial partners and the university’s Marine Technology and marine hydrodynamics environment. Optimising Green Methanol Utilisation for Net-Zero Offshore Vessels This project will investigate technologies for methanol-powered offshore vessels. The successful researcher will ...

TU Delft is offering a postdoc position in the AmmoniaDrive project on ammonia-fuelled SOFC-ICE power, propulsion and energy system ship integration . The work is based at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and focuses on how ammonia can be converted into useful mechanical or electric power on board ships without sacrificing range, speed, or safety. The project addresses major challenges in marine engineering , mechanical engineering , and zero-emission shipping . The selected...

PhD project at the University of Southampton in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, based in the Maritime Engineering group. The project is titled Experimental methods for maritime robots operating in close proximity in waves . It focuses on understanding how autonomous surface vehicles and other maritime robots behave when operating close to one another in waves, especially in challenging operational settings such as launch and recovery, refuelling/recharging, search and rescue, a...
