Job description

Postdoctoral Analysis Assistant in Built-in Engineering Fashions for Tidal Vitality Techniques
Central OxfordWe’re looking for a full-time Postdoctoral Analysis Assistant to hitch the Environmental Fluid Mechanics analysis group on the Division of Engineering Science (central Oxford). The publish is funded by the EPSRC and is fixed-term for 3 years with the opportunity of extension.The position is to steer the event of built-in entire system design fashions of tidal stream generators for renewable energy era. You’ll work on the lately introduced EPSRC-funded programme CoTide that’s creating entire system engineering fashions and modern designs for tidal power programs. The CoTide challenge staff brings collectively world-leading centres on the Universities of Oxford, Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Sheffield. CoTide’s staff of round 35 researchers and lecturers will develop holistic built-in fashions masking all facets of tidal stream turbine design that may assist to cut back prices and help innovation to speed up know-how growth and deployment for the tidal stream business.The position is in mannequin growth and integration and you’ll work with the whole programme staff and the programme’s business companions to develop entire system engineering instruments that can be utilized to mannequin the advanced interactions between the system hydrodynamics, structural mechanics and part fatigue. Utilizing the developed fashions you’ll discover how design and management of system operation can be utilized to stability design and efficiency goals. You’ll use optimisation and management co-design to grasp, take a look at sensitivity to, and optimise round key design drivers and goals, resulting in the event of optimum design options for various environments and goals.You need to possess a related PhD (or be close to completion) in Engineering or a associated self-discipline, have a robust background and related expertise within the growth of built-in engineering fashions, and related background in both fluid mechanics, structural mechanics or programs modelling, and possess wonderful communication expertise.Casual enquiries could also be addressed to Prof. Willden (electronic mail: Richard.willden@eng.ox.ac.uk)For extra details about working on the Division, see www.eng.ox.ac.uk/about/work-with-us/Solely on-line purposes acquired earlier than noon on sixth Could 2024 could be thought of.
