A fully funded 3-year PhD student position is now open in the Geotechnical group in the School of Engineering of University of Dundee (UK).

The PhD opportunity aims to quantify the uncertainties in the geotechnical design of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) and develop improved site investigation schemes for FOWTs. The developed framework will serve as a tool to economically optimise the effectiveness of site investigation for anchor design. This will enable improved (optimised) cost and risk estimations for different anchor concepts, thereby facilitating robust design decisions.

The candidate should have a background in Civil / Geotechnical / Geological / Energy Engineering. Contact: Dr Pengpeng He, phe001@dundee.ac.uk. More information on the pdf file.
