About the position

The position is a full-time permanent position affiliated with the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at NTNU. As part of a larger research initiative within subsea production and processing DNV GL is sponsoring this professorship in subsea risk and reliability. As part of this initiative, DNV GL and the other industry partners will contribute actively with industrial cases and provide access to relevant facilities and resources as seen relevant for the research.

The professor will join the Reliability, Availability, Maintenance and Safety (RAMS) research group. The group focuses on four defined topics within the field of safety and reliability of complex systems, i.e., reliability assessment of barriers and safety systems, implementation of reliability in the development of new systems, risk assessment of complex systems, and risk-based maintenance planning and optimization.

The position reports to head of department, Professor Torgeir Welo.

Work abstractJV_description

The professor is expected to strengthen the department's research activity in risk and reliability. The work shall in particular support the SUBPRO Centre for Innovation-based Research (SFI, see ntnu.edu/subpro) within subsea production and processing. Diagnostics and prognostics of safety systems and safety of software-instrumented systems (e.g., functional safety) are of particular importance. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong background and interest in the development and application of mathematical models that are relevant for risk and reliability.

The professor is expected to play a leading role in developing prototype digital solutions addressing the scientific achievements in risk and reliability activities in the department. Preference will therefore also be given to candidates with programming experience.

The research activities of the department rely crucially on external funding. The candidate is expected to work actively to acquire research grants and other external income from the Research Council of Norway, Nordic and European research and educational agencies, and other available sources.

The professor is expected to contribute to an excellent learning environment, in collaboration with colleagues, students, and external stakeholders. The professor is expected to teach courses at all levels and should supervise BSc, MSc and PhD students according to her/his research qualifications.

There is an associated PhD position co-funded from NTNU. The professor will be responsible for the recruitment process and the supervision of the PhD candidate.

The workplace will be in Trondheim.
