The starting time of the position is 1 October 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter, and the location is at SDU's main campus in Odense as well on the premises of industrial partners.
The application deadline is 1 July 2024 at 11.59 PM / CET/CEST)
WHAT WE OFFER
Would you like to make a contribution to the Blue Denmark and take part in the digital, green and zero-emission transition of the global shipping industry? Now, we are offering an exciting opportunity to address such interdisciplinary challenges requesting close collaboration between academia and companies. The successful candidate is expected to work actively in Work Package 3 (WP3) of the Shippinglab phase II project running from focusing on digitalization, decarbonation and safety for the future blue Denmark funded by IFD (Innovation Fund Denmark) and several DK Maritime funds and conduct application-oriented research with a team of industry partners in the maritime sector.
The aim of Shippinglab is to accelerate the green transition of the global maritime sector by promoting a digital and safe transformation through innovation actions, developing the position of Blue Denmark as frontrunner for digitalization and decarbonization. WP3 will focus on digital twin models for CBM (Condition based monitoring) and PdM (Predictive maintenance), targeting subsystems and critical components of marine combustion engines. New technologies such as DS (Data science), ML (Machine Learning) methods and AI (Artificial intelligence) will be used to facilitate the development of digital prediction models for wear and estimation of RUL (Remaining useful life) to support ship operators and engine vendors in improving uptime of equipment, prevent safety critical incidents and reducing operational expenses and emissions from operations.
The successful PhD candidate will
work closely with key industry stakeholders, particularly MAN Energy Solutions, being the leading vendor of marine combustion engines for the global merchant fleet.
