Department of Marine Technology is a major institution for higher education and research in marine technology. It is located in Trondheim at the Marine Technology Centre together with the applied research unit Marintek - a subsidiary of the SINTEF Group. The department has more than 50 Ph.D. students and the 5 year Master Program graduates 80 candidates annually and the International Master Program 10 candidates.
Related to design and operation of marine systems
Key research areas of the Marine Systems Group are design, fabrication and operation of marine systems and marine engineering of ships, offshore installations, fishing vessels and aquaculture facilities. There are 9 full time and 3 adjunct professors. During the next year the group will increase the staff by two full time and 2 adjuct professors. The group is organized within the Department of Marine Technology at NTNU.
Related to marine hydrodynamics and marine structures
The research activities of the Marine Structures group a re governed by the fact that the Norwegian marine industry operates in the harshest environment on the globe. A combination of strong winds, large waves, deep waters, low temperatures and safety concerns requires unique technological solutions. The research activities of the group are broad, spanning the disciplines of hydrodynamics and structural mechanics, with ten full time and six adjunct professors. The group is organized within the Department of Marine Technology at NTNU.
The PhD study program consists of a half year of course work and 2,5 years on thesis work. The doctoral fellowship is based on a scholarship. The assignment period is normally four years. The candidate will work part time as research/teaching assistant with a workload not exceeding one year during the four year assignment period. Applicants should have a background and a language proficiency (preferably Norwegian, but English is also acceptable) to be able to work as assistant in regular courses given by the Department.
Applicants must hold a Masters degree in naval architecture, marine engineering or a related field. Candidates with other relevant background may be req uired to take some extra courses. Applicants must qualify for admission to the PhD program at the Department. See http://www.ivt.ntnu.no/studier/doktorgrad/english/ for more information. It is a requirement for the position that the candidate applies for and is accepted for a PhD program at the Department.
The application, marked IVT-28/08 with CV, authorized grade transcripts and outline of research topic should be sent electronically through http://www.jobbnorge.no (ID search at www.jobbnorge.no 47863). Application deadline: 15 June 2008.
