Postdoctoral Researcher in Marine Hydrodynamics

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. The successful candidate will be part of the Wind, Water and Waves research group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Maritime Studies.

The research project HYDROdynamic Mooring analysis for Ocean Renewable Energy - HYDROMORE is financed by the Research Council of Norway. The focus of this postdoctoral position will be experimental validation of nonlinear hydrodynamic modelling and aerodynamic coupling.

The primary test facility will be the HVL MarinLab towing tank. The researcher will conduct wave tank testing on a 1:100 scale semi-submersible wind turbine with varying mooring characteristics.

The successful candidate will have a degree equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Naval Architecture/Ocean Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or equivalent, with thesis focusing on Marine Hydrodynamics.

Documented fluent oral and written communication skills in English are required. The doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the closing date. Only applicants with an approved doctoral thesis and completed defence are eligible for appointment.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Conduct wave tank testing on a 1:100 scale semi-submersible wind turbine with varying mooring characteristics.
  • Compare experimental results with linear/nonlinear diffraction-radiation time-domain models.
  • Study effects of aerodynamic damping due to platform motion.
What We Offer:

The appointment will be made in accordance with the regulations for State employees Law in Norway. Organizational changes and changes in duties must be expected.

Short-listed applicants will be called in for an interview.
