Research Associate (665487)

The Maritime Operations and Maintenance research group of the University of Strathclyde – Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering seeks to employ a Research Associate to participate in the EU/UK-funded “Green Marine: Retrofitting towards climate neutrality” research project.

FTE: 1.0

Term: Fixed (24 months)

As part of a significant research project involving the University of Strathclyde – Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering and more specifically the Maritime Operations and Maintenance research group, we seek to employ a Research Associate to participate in the project research and development tasks. The post holder will work on the EU/UK-funded Horizon Europe project “Green Marine: Retrofitting towards climate neutrality”. The aim of the project is to significantly accelerate climate neutrality of water borne transport through retrofitting existing fleets. The project will develop retrofitting protocols and enable the implementation of GHG-emission avoidance solutions through the use of a software tool catalogue. Moreover, it will demonstrate these tools and the innovative solutions aimed at carbon capture and emission reduction onboard ships.

The appointee will join a multidisciplinary international team of 10 partners from industry and academia across the UK and Europe. As a Research Associate, under the general guidance of a research leader, you will plan and conduct the necessary preparations and action plans for retrofitting and integration of the suggested Carbon Capture solutions for demonstration onboard vessel/s; plan and support the engineering and preparations for retrofitting; conduct cross-cutting learnings, and post-development/installation evaluation of the suggested demonstrations. Moreover, develop and integrate tools and methodologies for data pre/post processing and enable implementation for user-friendly APIs (Application Program Interface); conduct and support the project Communication and Dissemination tasks.

To be considered for the role, you will be educated to a minimum of PhD level in an appropriate discipline, or have significant relevant experience in addition to a relevant degree. You will have sufficient breadth or depth of knowledge in marine technology, marine systems and their integration and carbon capture/ emission reduction solutions, with a developing ability to conduct individual research work, to disseminate results and to prepare research proposals. You will have an ability to plan and organise your own workload effectively and an ability to work within a team environment. You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to listen, engage and persuade, and to present complex information in an accessible way to a range of audiences.
