    Default job background
    Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract
    Description

    FTC for 12 Months, or project end date – whichever is sooner

    £34,450 per annum - Research Assistant (if close to completing PhD)

    £37,337 per annum - Research Fellow (if PhD obtained)

    We are excited to announce an opening for a postdoctoral research fellow to work on floating energy systems, including floating solar farms, wave/tidal energy converters, and offshore wind turbines.

    About the Role

    You will play a key role in a UKRI-funded project - Solar2Wave )

    The project aspires to place floating solar panels in coastal and offshore regions thus saving scarce land and lake space, whilst addressing a key challenge - designing a novel solar farm that can remain intact in the destructive power of ocean waves. This innovation will then hopefully be provided as an affordable clean energy solution for Indonesian remote islands, where 1.5 million residents still don't have access to electricity. In particular, we will build a 25 kW system near a selected Indonesian island and test its operation with local communities, which is a pioneering effort in this field.

    You will join a large, international consortium with over 30 academic and industrial members. We will explore various aspects of developing a significant renewable energy project, including site study, structural design, energy system innovations, experiments, simulations, energy configuration, sustainability, construction, deployment, social benefits, cost optimization, market and business models, gender equity, social inclusion, and data analysis in Indonesia.

    About You

    You should have (or be close to obtaining) a PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. You should demonstrate expertise and a track record in some of the following: ocean wave dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, fluid-structure interactions, offshore structural design, wave-tank experiments, energy system design, mooring design, machine learning, floating solar technologies, and experience with large international collaborations.

    Independence, confidence, strong planning and self-management skills, excellent communication, and a passion for teamwork are ideal.
