About the position 

The Department of Marine Technology at NTNU has a vacancy for a Postdoctoral Fellows as part of the DREAMS (Design Re-Engineering and Automation for Marine Systems) project.

The postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.

The main objective of the DREAMS project 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.

As a Postdoctoral Fellow, you will work closely with Ulstein International, Pon Power, DNV and other industrial partners in the project. This implies being part of a team developing next generation ship designs and business processes that will improve the competitiveness of Norwegian ship design firms.  

Your immediate leader is Head of the Department.
