About the position

The Department of Marine Technology has a vacancy for a PhD Candidate within the project DREAMS (Design Re-Engineering and Automation for Marine Systems).

The main objective of the DREAMS will be to improve the efficiency and quality of ship design processes by re-engineering, modularisation, and automation. More specifically, we believe that by re-engineering the design process, combined with a higher degree of automation of selected tasks, we can reduce the total resource expenditure in conceptual and basic design by at least 30%. Further, by extending the focus from predominantly technical details towards commercial and sustainability performance we can better meet customer needs and expectations. And by disseminating the project results into naval architecture educational training programmes, we can improve the medium- and long-term implementation and use of new design methods and technologies in the Norwegian maritime industry.   

You will report to Professor Stein Ove Erikstad and Adjunct Professor Per Olaf Brett.
