A DOCTORAL CANDIDATE POSITION IN ADVANCED MARINE STRUCTURES

Finnish maritime cluster is known internationally for the complex, high-performing and high-value products it makes for challenging marine environment. Structural design of advanced structures is one of the key competences of this cluster. This position is aimed for development of the next generation structural solutions to maritime field. The present position focuses on strength of thin-walled ship structures and their non-linear response. The research methods include both theoretical and experimental techniques. Therefore, the applicants are expected to possess experience on one or several of the following fields:

  • Ship structures and naval architecture,
  • Solid mechanics, material technology and/or lightweight structures,
  • Optimization of structures
  • Analytical, numerical (Finite Element Method) and/or experimental work.

Requirements 

The call is open for candidates with a Master's degree in marine technology or any other relevant discipline associated with thesis topics. The candidates are expected to be proactive, capable to work in teams, goal-oriented and to possess a good potential in knowledge, skills and attitude towards post-graduate studies in multidisciplinary field of science.
The applicant must fulfil the requirements for doctoral students at Aalto University, School of Engineering.  For more details, see:
