Job Title: PhD Studentship: Future-Proofing Offshore Wind-Hydrogen Systems: A Holistic Assessment Ensuring Safety, Environmental Responsibility, and Economic Viability Throughout the Lifecycle

Job Summary: We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic graduate to join our research team as a PhD student. The successful candidate will work on a project that aims to develop a mathematical modelling framework to assess and optimize offshore wind-hydrogen system designs, operation regimes, operation & maintenance strategies, and end-of-life strategies.

Background: The growing frequency of devastating floods, wildfires, and heatwaves across the world alerts us that we are running out of time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Offshore wind has been identified as the most scalable of the UK's bulk renewable technologies and will be a key part of the UK's energy mix to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and mitigate the impact of climate change.

Proposed Project: The proposed project will be based on simulation and analysis of innovative OWHS designs, novel O&M strategies, and potential end-of-life strategies, along with potential changes in not only the marine environment, governmental guidance and regulations, operating conditions, and production needs, but also potential location restrictions, wildlife habitats, sea fishing areas, residential living areas, and other critical factors.

Key Responsibilities: The successful candidate will be responsible for developing a mathematical modelling framework to assess and optimize offshore wind-hydrogen system designs, operation regimes, operation & maintenance strategies, and end-of-life strategies. The candidate will also be responsible for analyzing the results of the simulations and developing recommendations for improving the safety, environmental sustainability, and economic efficiency of offshore wind-hydrogen systems.

Requirements: We require an enthusiastic graduate with a 1st class degree in engineering, computer science, maths, or a relevant discipline, at integrated Master's level or with a relevant MSc (in exceptional circumstances a 2:1 degree can be considered). The successful candidate will have excellent communication and teamwork skills, and be able to work independently and as part of a team.
