We are recruiting 2 post-docs and 4 PhD students to offshore geotechnics projects at the University of Southampton.

Are you interested in the development of offshore wind energy and have a passion for geotechnical engineering? These projects are a great opportunity to contribute to the advancement of sustainable energy infrastructure while deepening your expertise in geotechnical engineering.

You will join a team focussed on anchoring for floating offshore wind, new ground investigation tools, reliability-based design approaches at wind farm scale and mapping the seabed challenges at future offshore wind sites. Help us to accelerate the energy transition!

You will collaborate with industry and academic partners in large projects: TAILWIND (EU-funded, led by the Norwegian Geotechnical Instituve, Dr Aligi Foglia and Dr Pauline Suzuki), Robocone (UK-funded, led Dr Andrea Diambra) or the UK-wide ORE Supergen Hub.

You will work in a dynamic team at the University of Southampton with Prof David White, Prof Susan Gourvenec, Dr Benjamin Cerfontaine and Dr Katherine Kwa, at the National Infrastructure Laboratory, equipped with extensive new lab facilities.

You will join the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging technologies Centre of Excellence for Intelligent & Resilient Engineering (https://lnkd.in/eHFmNqti).
