About the position

We have a vacancy for a postdoctoral position within Assessment of accidental impacts against ocean structures at the Centre for Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems (AMOS), Department of Marine Technology

Accidental impacts and collisions from ships or ice features are events that may jeopardize the integrity of most ocean structures, such as ships, oil and gas installations, fish farms, offshore wind turbine foundations, large floating bridges etc. The resistance to such actions must be dealt with in the accidental limit state (ALS) format; i.e. large deformations and damage may be accepted but the structure should not collapse. The design against accidental ship impacts is often quite explicit as concerns oil and gas installations, but for other structures methods and design rules are often simplistic or even lacking. Thus, new advanced methods as well as simpler, design-oriented methods should be developed. The goal of the postdoctoral position is to contribute to this development.

Main duties and responsibilities

• Analysis of structural response to impacts by means of nonlinear finite element methods (e.g. LS-DYNA, ABAQUS, USFOS).
• Continuum mechanics modelling of ice and parameter calibration for ALS analysis.
• Fluid/ice-structure interaction to be included where relevant, e.g. by means of ALE methods
• Development of simplified methods based on external mechanics principles and internal mechanics with emphasis on plastic methods
• Propose new rule formulations for design verification.

Qualification requirements

Postdoctoral fellow:

A postdoctoral research fellowships is a qualification position in which the main objective is qualification for work in academic positions. Completion of a Norwegian doctoral degree in Marine Technology or corresponding foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree is required.

The appointment is to be made in accordance with the regulations in force concerning State Employees and Civil Servants and national guidelines for appointment as PhD, post doctor and research assistant.

Qualification requirements

• PhD degree in Marine Technology, Ocean Engineering, Civil Engineering or a similar relevant area.
• Excellent knowledge of the theoretical basis of the nonlinear finite element method
• Experience with modelling and analysis of structural response
• Familiar with plastic analysis of beams, frames, stiffened plates and large panels
• Excellent English skills, written and spoken, are required. Applicants from non-English speak countries outside Europe must present an official language test report. The acceptable tests are TOEFL, IELTS, and Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) or Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE). Minimum scores are
  • TOEFL: 600 / writing 4.5 (paper-based test), 92 / writing 22 (internet-based test)
  • IELTS: 6.5, with no section lower than 5.5 (only Academic IELTS test accepted)
  • CAE/CPE: grade B or A

Other qualifications:

• Experience with fluid/ice-structure interaction analysis is beneficial
• Academic results, publications, relevant specialization, work or research experience, personal qualifications, and motivation and a desire to make an impact on the development of rational methods for safe design against accidental impacts will be considered when evaluating the applicants.

Personal characteristics

• High motivation, enthusiasm and dedication to the work
• Willingness to work independently as well as to communicate and collaborate with other researchers
• Active engagement in the detailed planning of the research work

In the evaluation of which candidate is best qualified, emphasis will be placed on education, experience and personal suitability, as well as motivation, in terms of the qualification requirements specified in the advertisement

We offer

• exciting and stimulating tasks in a strong international academic environment
• an open and inclusive work environment with dedicated colleagues
• favourable terms in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund
• employee benefits
