15 PhD Fellowships or Post Doctoral positions on Offshore Wind Technology

The Norwegian government has established eight national research centers on climate friendly energy generation, one of which is the Norwegian Research Centre for Offshore Wind Technology (NOWITECH).

NTNU, SINTEF and IFE are research partners and leading national and international companies are industrial partners (i.e. StatoilHydro, Statkraft, Vestas, Dong Energy and several more). Recognized international research organizations are collaborating with the Centre (i.e. MIT, DTU/Risø, NREL).

We are collaborating with relevant centers at NTNU, such as the Center for Ships and Ocean Structures and the Center for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry.
Already more than 30 professors and researchers are engaged in this fi eld together with a signifi cant number of PhD and postdocs. With the establishment of NOWITECH, the research in offshore wind in Norway is significantly increased.

The industrial benefits of this enhanced research are anticipated to contribute to stronger market position for Norwegian suppliers both in international as well as
national markets.. The results of this focused research effort are also expected to more large scale use of offshore wind technology and thus reduce CO2 emissions and the climate change.

NOWITECH is planning to engage at least 25 PhDs and postdocs, and is announcing 15 positions for the first period of the research program.
