Job title PhD Opportunity: Rogue Waves and Non-Stationary Sea States. Company University of Manchester - Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. Description of the job The University of Manchester seeks a PhD candidate to explore how rapidly changing ocean conditions can be captured through a new description of the wave spectrum. This fully funded PhD position is offered as part of the FSE Bicentenary PhD programme. Although the spectrum has been the cornerstone of offshore engineering and oceanography for decades, traditional approaches assume sea states remain stationary, smoothing out the fast and often violent evolution of waves generated by atmospheric storms and masking the conditions under which rogue waves emerge. Building on recent advances in machine learning and data-driven modelling, the project will develop a dynamic, non-stationary spectrum that tracks the ocean in real time. You will design and test new machine learning-based methods,...
