Research Scientist in Loads and Dynamics of Offshore Wind Turbine Substructures

jobbeskrivelse:
DTU Wind Energy offers a position as research scientist within loads and dynamics of offshore wind turbine substructures in the Fluid Mechanics Section at the DTU Lyngby Campus. Offshore wind energy is an important part of the department’s research and is the topic of several national and international research projects. An important role of the Research Scientist will be to bridge between fundamental research on hydrodynamic load processes and the subsequent application in aero-elastic modelling and to enhance the collaboration with other sections in the department and industrial partners. Responsibilities and tasks The candidate will conduct research into loads on offshore wind turbine substructures with a special focus on loads from nonlinear waves, the associated structural response and the interaction with the full wind turbine under simultaneous wind-wave forcing. The research will include soil-structure interaction and analysis of measured or numerical data, with application of statistical and reliability-based methods. The research takes place in collaborative projects, often with international projects, where the research scientist will be responsible for the daily contact and possibly act as work package leader. The candidate is expected to publish in leading international journals and at leading conferences. The position further involves supervision of MSc students and a limited amount of teaching and administrative work. Qualifications Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent, preferably in the field of Mechanical Engineering or Civil Engineering. The candidate is further expected to have: •A solid knowledge within nonlinear wave hydrodynamics •Experience in aero-elastic modelling of offshore wind turbine structures •Developed skills in mathematical modelling •Programming skills and numerical skills •The ability to work both independently and as part of a team Assessment In the assessment of the candidates consideration will be given to •scientific production and research potential at international level •innovative skills and the ability to generate new ideas •the ability to communicate at all levels such as the provision of scientific advice to public sector authorities •experience in teaching and education •an all-round experience basis, preferably including international experience •the ability to contribute to development of the department’s internal and external cooperation We offer We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a leading technical university in northern Europe and benchmarks with the best universities in the world. Salary and terms of employment The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed with the relevant union. The post of research scientist is a permanent post as part of which the employee after a maximum of 4 years transfers to a position as senior research scientist provided that the employee is recommended for assessment and is deemed qualified. The workplace is DTU Lyngby Campus. Further information Further information may be obtained from Associate Professor Henrik Bredmose, tel.: +45 4525 4315 or hbre (at) dtu.dk.
