**We are seeking a Post-doctoral Research Fellow to work on the TAILWIND project, based at the University of Southampton, on a fixed-term contract of up to 3 years.**
The Research Fellow will support the development of new anchoring technologies for floating offshore wind turbines. Your role will focus primarily on geotechnical centrifuge modelling of anchors and you will contribute to the development of simplified computational models.
TAILWIND is a multi-disciplinary international research project, funded by the Horizon Europe programme, led by the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI), in collaboration with 2 other Universities and 8 industrial partners. The project aims to drive down the costs of floating units and mooring systems by advancing key station-keeping technologies. TAILWIND will adopt sustainable-by-design approaches and ensure scalability of the solution to meet the growth demand for offshore renewable energy.
You will be involved in the holistic design of floating wind systems as part of a large team with expertise spanning mooring lines, floating platforms and anchors, with both academic and industry perspectives. You will have many opportunities to expand your network, both in academia and industry, through project meetings, workshops and conferences.
You will be based at the new National Infrastructure Laboratory on the University’s Boldrewood Innovation Campus, and you will be embedded within a professional network addressing the ocean challenges and decarbonisation as part of the Southampton Marine & Maritime Institute (SMMI).
We offer an attractive research environment on our new Boldrewood campus, the latest facilities and access to a variety of staff development opportunities.
More information about the project can be found here: TAILWIND
