Job title Doctoral Researcher / Ocean Modeller. Company Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), Marine Dynamics Group, Marine Research Unit. Description of the job The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) is seeking a doctoral researcher for a fixed-term contract in the Marine Dynamics Group of the Marine Research Unit. The main duties are in the DTO4OWE (Digital Twin of the Ocean for Offshore Wind Energy) project funded by the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership, which brings together institutes from 9 different countries to study Digital Twins of the Baltic and North Seas for Offshore Wind Energy. The main task is numerical modelling of the Baltic Sea to study the effects of offshore wind energy. This will include development and validation of the NEMO ocean model for the Baltic Sea. Other tasks can potentially include, depending on interests and skills, development of machine learning and deep learning based methods to assess the effects of offshore wind...

Job title PhD Candidate in Seaweed Hydrodynamics. Company Department of Marine Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Description of the job The Department of Marine Technology at NTNU offers a fully funded PhD position in the field of hydrodynamic loads on seaweed and macro algae. The application of the research is towards industrialization of seaweed production in general, and design of floating seaweed production facilities in particular. The main cost of a seaweed farm is the longlines, which there may be hundreds of kilometers of. The seaweed grows on the longlines and is exposed to waves and current at various stages of growth. The hydroelastic behaviour of the seaweed is not sufficiently well understood, and hence there are no good hydrodynamic load models. The purpose of this work is to increase the understanding of longlines with seaweed under sea loads and develop accountable hydrodynamic load models. The position is part...
