Company Department of Marine Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), connected to the Norwegian Maritime AI Centre. Description of the job The Department of Marine Technology at NTNU is looking for a PhD candidate in AI for marine systems design and operation, connected to the newly established Norwegian Maritime AI Centre. The position aims to advance how artificial intelligence supports design and operational planning processes for complex marine systems. The candidate will explore how emerging AI technologies — foundation models, generative design tools, agent platforms, reasoning engines, and reinforcement learning — can be adapted and extended for maritime design challenges. The final research focus can be adapted to the candidate's background and interests. The Norwegian Maritime AI Centre has recently been awarded to NTNU and partners through the...

Job title PhD Position in Environmental Risks and Benefits of Offshore Wind Farms. Company Wageningen University & Research (WUR), Marine Animal Ecology Group, in collaboration with Wageningen Marine Research (WMR), the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), and Statistics Netherlands (CBS). Description of the job Wageningen University & Research offers a fully funded PhD position within the NO-REGRETS project, a 5.5-year, multidisciplinary research programme funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) and co-designed with stakeholders to understand the ecological and economic tradeoffs of upscaling offshore wind farms in the North Sea in light of climate change and in relation to the ongoing food and nature transitions. Over the next decades, the use of the North Sea will dramatically increase to accommodate large-scale implementation of renewable energy platforms. While providing a sustainable source of energy,...

The Renewables Grid Initiative is a unique collaboration between NGOs and transmission system operators (TSOs) from across Europe, engaging in an ‘energy transition ecosystem- of-actors’. We promote fair, transparent and sustainable grid development to enable the growth of renewables to achieve full decarbonisation in line with the Paris Agreement. At RGI, we are convinced that the energy, climate and biodiversity crises can and should be tackled in parallel. In this context, we are increasing our activities related to the protection and restoration of nature in connection with the energy transition – particularly the deployment of renewable energy sources (RES) and electricity grids, both on land and at sea. In 2020, RGI established a multi-stakeholder platform called the Offshore Coalition for Energy and Nature ( OCEaN ). OCEaN brings together NGOs, wind industry actors, and grid operators active in the North and Baltic seas, with the aim of finding sustainable solutions to...
