About
The FlowDyn team needs 6 PhD candidates for an Irish Doctoral Cohort on Offshore Dynamic Cables.
University College Dublin, in collaboration with University College Cork and Munster Technological University, is leading Ireland’s first national doctoral cohort on offshore dynamic cables.
The PhD program lasts 36 months, with funding providing a EUR25,000 tax-free stipend per year and coverage of relevant student fees. There are opportunities for travel and networking both nationally and internationally.
The cohort will work within a large, dynamic group of researchers specializing in energy and mechanics. The project is managed by the UCD Centre for Mechanics, Dynamical Systems and Risk Laboratory.
We seek candidates with strong fundamentals—whether in theory, numerical methods, or experimentation. Ideal candidates should demonstrate logical clarity, a genuine interest in doctoral research, solid foundational training, and awareness of relevant research works. The program promises a challenging and stimulating environment, emphasizing collaboration, flexibility, and work-life balance. Candidates should have a robust understanding of offshore sector challenges.
Applicants are encouraged to review the schematic attached (not provided here) to understand the specific topics of each PhD. While not necessary to cover all topics, applicants should be strong in at least one listed area.
If interested, please email the contacts below, copying Vikram Pakrashi (Vikram.Pakrashi@ucd.ie). Include relevant information about your experience related to offshore dynamic cables, along with your CV and a letter explaining your suitability for the position.
