It also provides an excellent education environment to gradually develop competence and profound knowledge of the marine technology.
Information about the division and the department
This position is set at the division of Marine Technology in Chalmers University of Technology, and co-supervised by RISE Maritime and a pioneer sail producer. The Marine Technology division carries out fundamental and applied research to enable the development and improvement of marine technology, such as ships, subsea systems and renewable energy solutions. We support industry and societies world-wide with knowledge, understanding and solutions that minimize emissions from shipping, improve the life time and reduces maintenance need for equipment in the harsh ocean environment, and ensures safe operations. Our activities are related primarily to development and application of numerical modelling, e.g. CFD, FEA, FSI, optimization, ML, but we are also involved in both experiments and real life monitoring to support our findings.
Besides research, our division is also involved in education at Master's and doctoral level. We are involved in the master program Mobility Engineering (Naval Architecture - Marine Technology profile) and we are part of the Nordic Master in Maritime Engineering.
Major responsibilities
As a full-time position, the PhD student should be able to independently develop numerical methods and codes, and collaborate with senior researchers/engineers and other students to solve problems. The position needs frequent communication, including meetings and workshops, with the maritime industry and research organizations. Coding scripts and computing with CFD and FEM soft wares will be required to complete daily tasks. The student should gradually develop competence in writing technical reports, and publishing high-quality scientific papers in journals or conferences.
Other duties:
• Teaching duty and other department duties for the minimum amount of 10% of total working hours.
• Full-time temporary employment for 4,5-5 years depending on the amount of department duties, where 10% is a minimum.
Qualifications
A qualified candidate is expected to be able to independently develop scientific concepts and methods, be competent in coding with Python or Matlab at least, be fluent in both speaking and writing in English.
Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of four-four and half years, depending on the amount of division workload, where 10% is the minimum required.
