Job title PhD in Marine Technology – Response Estimation and Wave Prediction for Offshore Wind Farm Installation and Operations. 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 3-year PhD position focused on response estimation based on remote distributed sensing of the wave field in an offshore wind park, in combination with metocean forecasting data. Cost- and risk-optimal installation and operation of offshore wind farms depend on accurate forecasts and predictions of environmental conditions and response of vessel and auxiliary systems. Improved sea-state and wave prediction can lead to real-time solutions for prediction of motion responses and wave loads during installation tasks such as turbine/blade installation as well as mooring and cable installation. The research task will further investigate exploitation of such methods for...

Job title PhD in Integrated Wind Turbine Modelling Tools for Drivetrain Health Monitoring. 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 3-year PhD position focused on developing near real-time hybrid, data-driven models considering the whole offshore wind turbine system and environmental loading for early fault detection in drivetrains. An offshore wind turbine installation is the result of a two-stage design process. As turbines get larger, the interaction between machinery and structure becomes more important. It is common practice to use a very simplified model of drivetrain in global analysis tools and ignore the coupling effects, often due to model complexity. This project is based on earlier experience in drivetrain and global models, aiming to build near real-time hybrid, data-driven models considering the whole system and...

Job title PhD Candidate in Parasite and Plankton Behavioural Biology and Ecology. Company Department of Biology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Description of the job The Department of Biology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim offers a PhD position at the Marine Sciences section, within the research group "Fish parasites, health and welfare". The PhD project will focus on behaviour and ecophysiology of sea lice and selected zooplankton species. There is a large focus on the parasitic salmon louse, as it causes large problems for the Norwegian aquaculture industry. The group collaborates closely with the aquaculture industry through the "Research platform Taskforce salmon lice" and works with a variety of research projects. In addition to salmon lice, the group focuses on fish health and welfare, as well as zooplankton biology and ecology. The project will include methodological developments as well...
