Postdoctoral Analysis Assistant in Naval Structure for Tidal Vitality Methods
Central OxfordWe’re in search of a full-time Postdoctoral Analysis Assistant to affix the Environmental Fluid Mechanics analysis group on the Division of Engineering Science (central Oxford). The put up is funded by the EPSRC and is fixed-term for two years with the opportunity of extension.The position is to steer the design and evaluation of mounted backside and floating offshore buildings for software to tidal stream power programs. You’ll work on the just lately introduced EPSRC-funded programme CoTide that’s creating entire system engineering fashions and progressive designs for tidal power programs. The CoTide undertaking crew brings collectively world-leading centres on the Universities of Oxford, Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Sheffield. CoTide’s crew of round 35 researchers and teachers will develop holistic built-in fashions protecting all elements of tidal stream turbine design that may assist to scale back prices and assist innovation to speed up expertise growth and deployment for the tidal stream trade.The profitable candidate will develop fashions and designs for the offshore infrastructure required to assist and function tidal stream generators. This can embody the design and evaluation of mounted backside buildings in addition to floating programs along with their moorings. The position will embody each fluid dynamics modelling in addition to structural design. You’ll develop diminished order engineering fashions and combine these into the broader co-design framework working with different members of the programme crew. Additionally, you will examine how system design coupled with metocean situations impacts the accessible operational home windows of buildings and generators.You need to possess a related PhD (or be close to completion) in Engineering, Naval Structure, or a associated self-discipline, have a powerful background and related expertise in fluid mechanics and structural modelling of offshore programs, expertise of analysing floating physique hundreds and dynamics, and possess glorious communication expertise.Casual enquiries could also be addressed to Prof. Willden (e 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 Might 2024 could be thought of.
