We are currently recruiting for a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher for one of the platform themes for which funding has been awarded for two years initially, and may be extended thereafter, subject to completion of a successful project review and funding being continued.The platform research topic is development of the next generation of marine energy devices including arrays of wave and/or tidal devices. The successful candidate will have a demonstrable track record of research and development of such marine energy devices. Experience of experimental work using wave or tidal test tanks would be an advantage together with the use of advanced measurements systems like PIV and LDA. As this is a senior role, the candidate will also be expected to coordinate other researcher activities as well as liaison within and outside the MaREI project team.The candidate will be based in the Hydraulics and Maritime Research Centre in UCC but will relocate to the new state-of-the-art Beaufort Research Building at Ringaskiddy once it is completed in 2015.
