A two-year postdoctoral research position is available at the UCD School of Civil Engineering, University College Dublin, on Advanced Rock Anchoring for Offshore Renewable Energy (ARORE).

The project will advance the testing, modelling and design of rock anchor systems for offshore renewable energy infrastructure, with a focus on fractured bedrock conditions relevant to Irish offshore sites. The role will involve laboratory testing, static and cyclic loading tests, numerical modelling, and design-oriented interpretation of single and group rock anchor behaviour.

The position may be appointed at PD1 or PD2 level, depending on experience. The PD2 level requires at least two years of postdoctoral research experience. The project is funded by SEAI and will be carried out with Prof. Shane Donohue at UCD and industry partner Subsea Micropiles.

Please see the attached PD1 and PD2 job descriptions for details. Applications should be submitted via UCD Jobs: https://www.ucd.ie/workatucd/jobs/
