Professor in Ship Power and Maritime Energy System Design and Operation
The position will be central to our research and education to support the maritime energy transition: how do we design, configure, and operate shipboard power systems that deliver the right energy from the right source, at the right time for vessels and fleets with complex operational profiles and towards a future characterized by both rapid and uncertain technology development, tightening emissions regulations and volatile market conditions. Application deadline 26 October.
PhD Research Fellow in Self-Organising Maritime Autonomy
You will work at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems, with access to unique experimental infrastructure, including autonomous underwater and surface vehicles, advanced simulation environments, and field-testing facilities. Application deadline 14 October.
PhD Candidate in information fusion and data assimilation for ocean space utilization
Would you like to work together with researchers and industry to create risk-informed data-fusion and data assimilation approaches to support utilization of the ocean space at high latitudes? In that way you will contribute to safer and more efficient human use of the ocean. Project Arctic Ocean 2050. Application deadline 28 September.
PhD Candidate in Deep Learning Enhanced FSI analysis of Modular Floating Structures
Would you like to work at the intersection of artificial intelligence and offshore engineering, contributing to the next generation of intelligent floating structures? The position is part of the AIMOS project (Artificial Intelligence for Multiscale Offshore Structures), which develops integrated AI methods for the analysis, design, monitoring, and control of floating offshore systems. Application deadline 25 September.
PhD candidate in agentic AI
We have an open PhD position at NTNU as part of our newly funded AIMOS project: Accelerating the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Multiscale Offshore Structures.The project will explore how agentic AI can support the intelligent control of floating multi-modular structures, using dynamic models, digital twins, and smart, variable-stiffness connectors to adapt to changing environmental and operational conditions. Application deadline 10 September.
