About the Department/Section/Group
The ambition for the tenure-track position is to bring load-response analysis of marine structures to the next level. Large and very flexible structures are seen as particularly interesting in this context, with important applications in offshore energy, offshore sea farming, and other large floating structures. Interaction between bodies in close proximity and complex failure modes of the coupling between such bodies are seen as areas where there is need for more research. Development of numerical models, validated by experiments, both in controlled lab environments and in the field, are expected to be important elements on the way to improved methods for load-response analysis. The Department of Marine Technology has access to a large range of relevant high-quality experimental facilities. Your immediate leader is Head of department.Note or Other details
