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.
