Postdoctoral Analysis Assistant in Tidal Stream Useful resource Evaluation
Central OxfordWe’re searching for a full-time Postdoctoral Analysis Assistant to hitch the Environmental Fluid Mechanics analysis group on the Division of Engineering Science (central Oxford). The submit is funded by the EPSRC and is fixed-term for two years with the potential of extension.The function is to guide the event of diminished order fashions for tidal stream vitality yield evaluation. You’ll work on the lately introduced EPSRC-funded programme CoTide that’s creating entire system engineering fashions and progressive designs for tidal vitality techniques. The CoTide venture crew brings collectively world-leading centres on the Universities of Oxford, Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Sheffield. CoTide’s crew of round 35 researchers and lecturers will develop holistic built-in fashions protecting all features of tidal stream turbine design that may assist to scale back prices and help innovation to speed up expertise improvement and deployment for the tidal stream trade.The profitable candidate will work on the tidal useful resource features of CoTide to know the impacts that system design selections have on farm-scale energy manufacturing and feedbacks to the tidal stream useful resource. You’ll lead the event of diminished order fashions of tidal stream yield evaluation that may interface with shallow water movement fashions and movement pace distribution fashions. You’ll work with different members of the programme crew to know and specify the interfaces between the yield fashions and the opposite engineering sub-models developed inside CoTide. Moreover, you’ll analyse metocean information and develop standards to characterise actual and idealised tidal vitality websites to help the event and evaluation of various tidal system ideas inside CoTide.It is best to possess a related PhD (or be close to completion) in Engineering or a associated self-discipline, have a powerful background and related expertise in fluid mechanics modelling for offshore engineering, have expertise of utilizing metocean information, and possess glorious communication expertise.Casual enquiries could also be addressed to Prof. Adcock (electronic mail: thomas.adcock@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 functions obtained earlier than noon on sixth Could 2024 will be thought of.
