Description

Research Fellow in National Decommissioning Centre

The National Decommissioning Centre (NDC) is looking to expand its current team with a Post-Doctoral Researcher in offshore energy Decarbonisation, Infrastructure Re-Use & Repurposing & Energy Transition.

In this role you will be working with a team of researchers developing tools to quantify and reduce the emissions associated to decommissioning of offshore energy assets, and the possibility to re-use and re-purpose existing infrastructure.

This will initially focus on specific regions of the North Sea, gathering and processing new data on emissions associated to the overall decommissioning process and incorporating it to different models.

Areas will include (but will not be limited to) activities involved in wells plugging and abandonment, subsea infrastructure and topsides removal, transportation, material recycling and additional energy and personnel task requirements during decommissioning.

You will also collaborate closely with staff, students, and external users developing the new models and running simulations of decommissioning and energy transition scenarios.
