Researcher - development of the ships of the future

Are you interested in developing the ships of the future?

SINTEF is one of Europe's largest independent research institutions. For over 70 years, we have contributed to growth, innovation and solutions for our customers and for society. Together with our customers, we work each day to create societal benefits and spark competition. The UN's sustainability goals guide the work at SINTEF, and our vision is technology for a better society.

The key to many of our time's greatest challenges lies in the ocean. SINTEF Ocean is developing the future's ocean-based industries within the areas of food, energy, environment and transportation. We currently have an open position as a researcher in the field of marine hydrodynamics.

SINTEF Ocean has significant research activity within the field of marine hydrodynamics. This research activity is aimed at multiple industries, both nationally and internationally: offshore wind, oil and gas, maritime, aquaculture and various coastal constructions. The department participates in multiple large research centres, while also completing projects in close collaboration with industry actors. Our research is centred around analyses and reports, laboratory experiments and the development of software for analyses and simulations. One of our strengths is that we can combine the use of laboratory experiments and numerical analyses, in order to give the best possible content to our customers. SINTEF Ocean runs one of the world's leading laboratory environments for the advanced testing of ships and ocean constructions. Together with NTNU, we are working on the establishment of Ocean Space Centre, which will be our future research centre.
