Furthermore, the selected candidate will integrate a cohort of students addressing multiple topics of dynamic cables in floating wind turbines supported by Sustainable Energy Ireland Project, entitled FLOWDyn - Floating Offshore Wind Dynamic Cables.
The doctoral cohort will work withing a large, dynamic and complementary group of researchers representing leadership in the field of energy and mechanics. The project will be managed by University College Dublin Centre for Mechanics, Dynamical Systems and Risk Laboratory.
We are looking for well trained candidates in fundamentals – be it theory, numerical methods or experimentation.
Successful candidates should have logical clarity, a genuine interest in engaging with the process of doctoral research, clear fundamental training and appreciation of works of other (relevant) researchers.
The doctoral cohort will be challenging, exciting and a nice place to work in.
We expect the candidates to be collaborative, cooperative and a pleasure to work with. The cohort will allow for flexible approaches and training, and strive to strike a balance between work and personal life reasonably. We want quality time spent for the project and the candidates in terms of preparedness around the offshore sector in a robust and rigorous manner.
Make sure you look up offshore dynamic cables and provide relevant and related information about yourself when you contact. Please include your CV and a letter explaining why you are relevant for the position.
Interested candidates may also email directly both Vikram Pakrashi ([email protected] ) and Rui Teixeira ([email protected] ) with respect to this position.
The PhD will start from September 2024.
