About the Position
The FlowDyn team needs 6 PhD candidates for an Irish Doctoral Cohort on Offshore Dynamic Cables. University College Dublin, in partnership with University College Cork and Munster Technological University, is leading Ireland’s first national doctoral cohort on offshore dynamic cables.
Funding: The funding provides a EUR25,000 stipend (tax-free) per year and covers relevant student fees. There are also opportunities for travel and networking nationally and internationally.
Duration: 36 months
The doctoral cohort will work within a large, dynamic, and complementary group of researchers representing leadership in the field of energy and mechanics. The project will be managed by the UCD Centre for Mechanics, Dynamical Systems and Risk Laboratory.
We are looking for well-trained candidates in fundamentals – be it theory, numerical methods, or experimentation. Successful candidates should have logical clarity, a genuine interest in engaging with the process of doctoral research, clear fundamental training, and an appreciation of the works of other (relevant) researchers. The doctoral cohort will be challenging, exciting, and a pleasant place to work. We expect the candidates to be collaborative, cooperative, and a pleasure to work with. The cohort will allow for flexible approaches and training and strive to balance work and personal life reasonably.
The schematic attached presents the flavor of each PhD. It is not necessary to cover all the topics to apply. However, we do want candidates particularly strong in at least one of the topics listed for the PhD.
If you think you are the right candidate, please email the contacts listed below (please also copy Vikram Pakrashi at Vikram.Pakrashi@ucd.ie in this email). Make sure you look up offshore dynamic cables and provide relevant and related information about yourself when you make contact. Please include your CV and a letter explaining why you are relevant for the position.
Eligibility Criteria:
* Applicants should hold a Master's degree (minimum final grade of 2.1 or equivalent) in Structural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Material Science, or a related discipline.
* The ideal candidate will have a background in structural testing and analysis, material testing, FE analysis, computer programming, and data processing.
* Fluency in English and excellent written and oral presentation skills are required (minimum IELTS score of 6.5 for each, Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking, not average).
