About this position
The University of Glasgow is seeking a Research Associate in Intelligent Geophysics for Offshore Wind to join the James Watt School of Engineering and contribute to a major UKRI-funded Fellowship led by Dr Róisín Buckley.
The project sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, scientific machine learning, marine geophysics and subsurface engineering. It addresses fundamental challenges in interpreting and integrating marine geophysical, geological and geotechnical data to improve subsurface characterisation and support decision-making throughout offshore renewable energy development.
The successful researcher will take a leading role in processing, interpreting and integrating large, complex offshore datasets. Their work will develop improved understanding of geological variability, uncertainty and geohazards relevant to offshore site characterisation. The role also offers the opportunity to build expertise in AI, machine learning and advanced data analytics while contributing to new AI-driven approaches to intelligent subsurface characterisation.
The postholder will work within an interdisciplinary team of engineers, geophysicists and data scientists, collaborating with academic and industrial partners and researchers across the UK’s artificial-intelligence ecosystem. The position provides access to world-class experimental and computational facilities and the opportunity to help shape an ambitious research programme connecting geophysics, engineering and AI.
Applicants from industry are encouraged, particularly those bringing experience in offshore site characterisation, marine geophysics or subsurface interpretation into a research environment. The role also includes opportunities to develop research collaborations, publish internationally, contribute to research impact, mentor students and colleagues, and participate in relevant teaching activities.
