About this position

Durham University’s Department of Engineering is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate position focused on advanced solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) modelling, three-dimensional combustion and engine simulation, and AI-assisted modelling for hybrid marine propulsion systems.

The role sits within the EPSRC MaRes Hub and the Horizon Europe SEASTARS project, both aimed at accelerating maritime sustainability through emission-reduction and energy-efficiency technologies across ship classes and shore power applications. The successful candidate will help develop industry-relevant modelling toolkits for greener vessel design and operation, with an emphasis on real-world impact and demonstrations.

Research activities include programming, analysing and interpreting data, developing decision-support tools, contributing to publications and conference papers, supporting research proposals, and engaging with wider impact activities such as licensing or spin-out opportunities. The post also involves collaboration with the Principal Investigator and research team, plus opportunities to contribute to training, supervision, and departmental citizenship.

The project is led by Prof Dawei Wu at Durham University. This is a postdoctoral opening, not a PhD or master’s studentship. The post is located in Durham, England, United Kingdom.

Deadline: 4 September 2026.

How to apply: Use the linked Times Higher Education UniJobs advert to access the full application details and submit your application through the employer’s process before the deadline.
