UCC is seeking to recruit a Post-doctoral/Senior Postdoctoral Researcher to work within the Offshore Renewable Energy Research Group in MaREI/Lir - NOTF.

MaREI is a key research centre within UCC’s Environmental Research Institute (ERI), which is an internationally recognised Institute for environmental research dedicated to the understanding and protection of our natural environment and to developing innovative technologies, tools and services to facilitate a transformation to a zero carbon and resource efficient society. The MaREI Centre is a Research Ireland funded research centre headquartered in the ERI and includes 13 other Universities and Third Level Institutes from across Ireland, has 50 industrial partners and has accumulated research funding of approximately €60m. It combines the expertise of a wide range of research groups and industry partners, with the shared mission of solving the main scientific, technical and socio-economic challenges across the climate, energy and marine spaces. MaREI is also funded by SEAI, EI, EPA, ERDF, EU, HEA, Marine Institute, DCCAE and IRC, as well as through contributions from our industry partners. Researchers in the MaREI Centre have over 30 years of experience in conducting fundamental and applied research supported by competitively won national and international funding, and commercial contracts with government agencies and industry. MaREI’s strengths lie in the multi-disciplinary nature of its research teams, allowing it to combine insights across areas such as MRE Technologies, Materials & Structures, Observations & Operations, Coastal & Marine Systems, Bioenergy, Energy Policy & Modelling and Renewable Energy Management

Lir NOTF houses Ireland’s only infrastructure for small to medium scale laboratory testing of ocean and maritime systems, and has expert support personnel and a track record stretching back to 1977. We engage with industry and researchers to support the development of these emerging technologies. Reputed for our contributions to wave, tidal and offshore wind energy development. We are also known for our work with floating structures, offshore structures, coastal engineering including breakwaters and harbours, hydrodynamics, scour, vessels and offshore logistics

The successful candidate will be engaged in planning, executing, analysing and reporting on scaled physical testing of offshore renewable models. Operating the wave tanks and associated experimental equipment as well as setting up the model is part of this job. The successful candidate should create reports to a high level of detail after analysing raw data from sensors.

The person will be actively involved in adhering to a quality system and be a willing participant in the promotion of a safe work culture. The role requires excellent communication skills both at a local level with colleagues and externally with clients and academic partners. knowledge of fluid dynamics, wave structure interaction and marine renewable energy systems is essential to this role.

The Researcher will be involved in conducting the physical model testing of offshore renewable energy systems, analysing the data collected and reporting it to a high standard. Based on the results obtained, the successful candidate should be able to give constructive feedback to the clients/researchers where applicable.

The Ocean Energy programme supports, promotes and enhances the development of the ocean energy sector within Ireland, applicants should note that the position requires them to be on site in the Beaufort Building at Lir-NOTF. SEAI operates the programme in partnership with UCC. The programme is aligned to the actions set out in the Offshore Renewable Energy Development Plan (OREDP) and the Climate Action Plan (CAP) and is funded by the Department of Communication, Climate Action and Environment.

ORE group - The Offshore Renewable Energy Group, in the MaREI research centre at University College Cork, is a focused group of researchers under the tutelage of Dr Jimmy Murphy, who researches ORE industry needs from wet storage solutions, LCOE modelling to technology development. It is a dynamic team that meets the challenges of the ORE sector by developing specialized tools creating data sets and assisting in technology development.

Achievement of the expected progression within Post Doc and Senior Post Doc is transferable between the Irish HEI’s. This can be reflected in the starting pay of a PD researcher. Similarly, as the PD scheme is an intergenerational training scheme completion of PD1 or PD 2 levels in one HEI will normally render that researcher ineligible for appointment at a similar level in another Irish HEI Researcher Career Development Framework | Irish Universities Association
