PhD scholarship in dynamic analysis of multi-purpose platforms for wave and wind energy (IVT-123/09)
Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology Department of Marine Technology – CeSOS
Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology has responsibility for the following disciplines: civil and environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, geology and mineral resources engineering and marine technology. The Faculty has 10 Departments (http://www.ntnu.no/ivt), about 750 employees, 3000 Master students, and about 400 PhD candidates.
PhD scholarship in dynamic analysis of multi-purpose platforms for wave and wind energy (IVT-123/09)
Offshore wind represents a significant potential for long-term sustainable energy generation. A cost efficient exploitation of wind energy in deeper waters could benefit from a combined utilization of other technologies. One effective choice is to combine wind energy with tidal current – , or primarily, with wave energy. Assessment of the power capture and reliability and availability of such systems requires analysis of the dynamic behaviour of the whole system under wind and wave forces. The present research project will focus on development and application of methods for integrated analysis of a class of systems which include the structure and mechanical system while the electrical system will be modeled in a simplified manner. The example systems will be selected in cooperation with relevant industry partners.
The research will take place in an international research environment in CeSOS, involving several researchers and PhD candidates in the offshore wind centre Nowitech and the EU network Wavetrain2 and other programmes.
The PhD candidate must have an MSc degree in marine technology, civil- or mechanical engineering or another relevant field. The candidate must be qualified for admittance as a PhD student at NTNU and preferably have good English language skills. The candidate will be a part of a research team residing in Trondheim.
More information can be obtained from Director of CeSOS, Professor Torgeir Moan, phone +47 73 59 55 41 (tormo@ntnu.no).
Salaries, etc. PhD candidates are remunerated in code 1017, grade 45 – 51 on the Norwegian State salary scale, gross NOK 355 400 to NOK 394 200 per year (before tax). PhD students are normally remunerated at wage level 45. There will be a 2 % deduction to the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund from gross salary.
Engagement as a PhD candidate is done in accordance with current appointment regulations with supplementary rules in force giving guidelines for scholarship appointments in universities and university colleges. The goal of each of the announced positions is to obtain a PhD degree. Applicants are obliged to engage in an organized PhD training program, and appointment requires approval of the applicant’s plan for a PhD study within three months from the date of commencement. A contract of employment will be set up for the engagement period regulating the rights and duties of the PhD student.
The engagement is to be made in accordance with the regulations in force concerning State Employees and Civil Servants.
The fellowship is awarded for 4 years with 25 % duties for the Department.
The position adheres to the Norwegian Government’s policy of balanced ethnicity, age and gender. Persons with immigrant background are encouraged to apply. NTNU’s objective is to increase the number of females in scientific positions. Female applicants are therefore encouraged to apply.
The application must contain information of educational background and work experience. Certified copies of transcripts and reference letters should be enclosed. The application should preferably include a project statement of about 1 – 2 pages.
An application inclusive CV, grade transcripts and other enclosures are to be submitted via the link “Apply for this job”, ref.no. IVT-123/09. Preferably, we want the attachments in one file. Application deadline: 20.10.2009.
