Job title Professor of Marine Technology and Autonomy. Company University of Plymouth - School of Engineering Computing and Mathematics. Description of the job The University of Plymouth seeks to appoint a Professor of Marine Technology and Autonomy to help drive and expand the new cross-disciplinary research centre, CMAST (Centre for Marine Autonomy, Maritime Cyber-Security and Technology). Plymouth has been announced as the UK's National Centre for Marine Autonomy (NCMA) and is home to pioneering initiatives such as Smart Sound, NCCA, and the FAST cluster. This appointment will reinforce the University's role in delivering high-impact research aligned with the UK's National defence strategy, as highlighted in the UK's Strategic Defence Review and the Industrial Strategy, as well as supporting the UK's Net Zero Maritime ambitions. The post holder will maintain and grow the University's longstanding leadership in marine autonomy, sensor technology and maritime...

Job title PhD in Impact of Grounded Icebergs. Company University of Southampton. Description of the job The University of Southampton is seeking a PhD researcher for a competition-funded project titled 'Impact of grounded icebergs on the oceanography and ecosystem of a sub-Antarctic island'. This opportunity is part of the IGNITE Doctoral Landscape Award and involves a world-class collaboration with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute (SAERI). The project will use numerical modelling tools to investigate the impact of grounded icebergs on the physical oceanography of the South Georgia (Southern Ocean) shelf and explore the consequences for the transport of Antarctic krill, a key prey item for local colonies of higher predators. As the climate warms, the number of icebergs reaching South Georgia is likely to increase; this project addresses a pressing need to better understand the consequences for the local...

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,...
