About the position

We have a vacancy for a Professor/Associate Professor in Marine Hydrodynamics at the Department of Marine Technology.

Marine hydrodynamics concerns understanding and modelling of ocean waves, of the flow around marine structures and of water-induced loads and responses. Free-surface effects and fluid-structure interaction are important and challenging features of marine hydrodynamics. Analytical, numerical and experimental methods are used in the research. Numerical strategies might be combined with experimental methods, which is particularly relevant since the department has access to large, high quality experimental facilities for physical studies of marine hydrodynamics.

 

The focus of the currently announced position shall be on numerical and experimental methods applied to the hydrodynamics of ships and ocean structures. The candidate is expected to lecture courses related to ship hydrodynamics, and to incorporate topics related to ship hydrodynamics in his or her research portfolio.

The position reports to the Head of Department. The successful candidate will be involved with SFI Smart Maritime.

Work abstractJV_description

The vacant position has specific responsibility for teaching and supervising students and for carrying out research in marine hydrodynamic topics. They will include:

• Hydrodynamics of ships and ocean structures
• CFD and other numerical methods, as well as theoretical models, in marine hydrodynamics
• Experimental testing in hydrodynamic laboratories, as well as field campaigns

The candidate is expected to actively initiate new research projects. Collaboration with SINTEF and/or other relevant companies is expected. There is also an expectation that our professors engage in administrative work related to managing teaching and research and running the department.
