Beyond the targets:
Accelerating Realisation of Floating Offshore Wind in the Celtic Sea.


The Crown Estate recently published plans to support Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) in the Celtic Sea to deliver 4GW by 2035, extending to 20GW by 2045.

Questions remain as to the technical feasibility and practical solutions that will emerge, especially in sites further offshore in more aggressive environments.

Much of the analysis is based on fixed offshore wind, but FOW deployments differ in several ways, in the type of platform and in relation to manufacture, installation, operations & maintenance.


There is an essential requirement within this role that you will be required to travel to and work at different University sites and/or other business locations that may not be easily accessible by public transport.

Please refer to the job description for further information.


Please demonstrate how you meet the essential criteria outlined in the knowledge, qualifications, training and experience elements of the job description in your supporting statement.


Interviews are likely to take place week commencing Monday 20th February 2023 and you will be notified if you have been shortlisted or not.


This is a full-time position working 37 hours per week on a fixed-term basis for 36 months due to funding.

Flexible working options including job share will be considered.

We offer a competitive salary package and a generous pension and holiday scheme. We also offer a range of other benefits, including ongoing development opportunities.


The University of Plymouth has a strong interdisciplinary research ethos which is supported by our three strategic Research Institutes; the Marine Institute, the Sustainable Earth Institute, and the Plymouth Institute of Health and Care Research.

As a member of our academic community, you'll be expected to contribute to our recognised research strengths.
