Join us at the Division of Marine Technology, Department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences, and help advance knowledge in the field of marine technology.
This position offers an inclusive environment with close collaboration with the Swedish marine industry, focusing on developing methods and tools to address fluid-structure interaction problems. It also provides an excellent academic setting where you will gradually build competence and in-depth knowledge in scientific research and teamwork.
Research environment
The position is based at the Division of Marine Technology at Chalmers University of Technology. The division conducts both fundamental and applied research to advance marine technology, including ships, subsea systems, and renewable energy solutions.
We support industry and society worldwide with knowledge, insights, and solutions that:
•
minimize emissions from shipping,
•
improve equipment lifetime and reduce maintenance needs in harsh ocean environments,
•
ensure safe and sustainable operations.
Our activities are centered on numerical modelling (e.g. CFD, FEA, FSI, optimization, machine learning), but also include experiments and real-life monitoring to validate our findings.
Beyond research, the division contributes actively to education at both Master’s and doctoral levels. We are engaged in the Master’s programme Mobility Engineering (Marine Technology profile) and the Nordic Master in Maritime Engineering. The research group consists of senior researchers, postdocs, and PhD students. During the project, the postdoc will also supervise Master’s and Bachelor’s thesis projects, and maintain regular contact with Swedish marine industry partners.
