The Centre for Ships and Ocean Structures (CeSOS)
|
The Centre for Ships and Ocean Structures (CeSOS)
is an international research centre at the Norwegian University of
Science and Technology (NTNU), designated as a Centre of Excellence by
the Research Council of Norway. The aim of CeSOS is to develop
fundamental knowledge for the design and operation of future ships,
offshore structures, floating bridges and airports, facilities for
aquaculture and production of renewable energy from the oceans by
integrating theoretical and experimental research in marine
hydrodynamics, structural mechanics and automatic control.
The annual budget is about USD 5 million. About
eighty researchers are affiliated with the Centre and the annual
research effort is about 50 researcher years.
CeSOS would like to invite applications for:
* CoE1/09: Postdoctoral Fellowship in
Unmanned Aerial Systems (duration of 1-2 years) We are
looking for a young and ambitious researcher with a PhD degree in
aerospace and control, and a strong background or interest in unmanned
aerial systems. The candidate is expected to be interested in both
fundamental and applied research, and in working on the boundary of
several research domains. Specifically, the work will involve research
on guidance and control systems for both single and multiple unmanned
aerial vehicles. The candidate should be prepared to work with PhD
students, give seminars at the PhD level, and to work with other
researchers in a multi-disciplinary research group.
* CoE2/09: Postdoctoral Fellowship in
Guided Cooperative Control of Unmanned Vehicles (duration of
1-2 years) We are looking for a young and ambitious researcher with a
PhD degree in electrical, mechanical, marine or aerospace engineering
and control, and a strong background or interest in unmanned vehicles.
The candidate is expected to be interested in both fundamental and
applied research, and in working on the boundary of several research
domains. Specifically, the work will involve research on guidance and
control systems for multiple unmanned vehicles, including unmanned
underwater, surface, and aerial vehicles. The candidate should be
prepared to work with PhD students, give seminars at the PhD level, and
to work with other researchers in a multi-disciplinary research group.
* CoE3/09: Postdoctoral Fellowship in
Condition Estimation and Fault-tolerant Control for Marine Vehicles
(duration of 1-2 years) We are looking for a young and ambitious
researcher with a PhD degree in electrical, mechanical or marine
engineering and control, and a strong background or interest in fault
diagnosis, estimation, change detection and control of nonlinear
systems. The candidate is expected to be interested in both fundamental
and applied research, and in working on the boundary of several
research domains. Specifically, the work will involve research on
change detection and fault-tolerant design of control systems in one
out of two areas, dependent on the successful applicant´s background
and interest. One area is parametric roll resonance where the purpose
is to detect and control the phenomenon before it develops to critical
levels. The other is fault-tolerant estimation and control to optimize
ship propulsion in waves when a diesel engine is used as prime mover.
The candidate should be prepared to work with PhD students, give
seminars at the PhD level, and to work with other researchers in a
multi-disciplinary research group. For all positions, the candidate
must have a strong background in dynamics and control, including both
linear and nonlinear control theory. Experience with Matlab and
Simulink is also essential. The candidate must have obtained the PhD
degree within the last five years, or have completed the PhD degree
requirements before the beginning of the fellowship award. Postdoctoral
fellows will normally be engaged for a one or two year period, with a
possibility of extension depending on the results achieved in the
period. The gross salary for post doctors will typically be between NOK
435 500 and NOK 496100.
