PhD or Postdoctoral Fellow Positions in Germany: Marine Control Systems, Ships and Ocean Structures
September 19, 2008Unique Opportunities for Research on Marine Control Systems, Ships and Ocean Structures – for PhD or Postdoctoral Fellows
CeSOS would like to invite applications for:
# CoE4/08: Post doctor in Marine Control Systems (duration of 1-2 years)
In order to carry out this project, we are looking for a candidate with a PhD degree in systems and control or marine technology, and a strong background or interest in marine control systems. The candidate is expected to be interested in fundamental research and in working on the boundary of several research domains. The candidate should also 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.
# CoE5/08: PhD fellowship in Manoeuvring and Control of Marine Vehicles (duration of 3 years)
Professor Thor I. Fossen has one open PhD position in marine control systems for prospective graduate students. The general research theme involves theoretical and experimental study of marine vessels in waves with emphasis on advanced motion control for ships and unmanned marine vehicles. This includes control of highly maneuverable and underactuated vehicles, collision avoidance methods, and formation control. Considered motion control scenarios include target tracking as well as path following, tracking, and maneuvering. The interested applicants must have a Master?s degree in one of the areas of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, control systems, marine technology or applied mathematics, and a strong background in systems, linear and nonlinear control theory, and mathematics. A good command of the English language is required.
# CoE6/08: PhD fellowship in Offshore Floating Wind Turbine Modelling and Control (duration of 3 years)
Professor Mogens Blanke has one open PhD position in marine control systems for prospective graduate students. The general research theme includes theoretical and experimental studies of marine vehicles and systems with emphasis on control aspects, including fault-tolerance and -diagnosis for dependable operation of autonomous or remotely located systems. This call addresses modeling and control of floating-structure-mounted wind turbines, where dynamic effects, control of turbine blade pitch, and electrical power production interact in linear and nonlinear ways. The interested applicants must have a Master?s degree in one of the areas of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, control systems, marine technology or applied mathematics, and a strong background in systems, linear and nonlinear control theory, and mathematics. A good command of the English language is required.
The fellowship period for doctoral studies will be 3 years. A fourth year as teaching assistant is optional. The annual gross salary for doctoral students will normally be NOK 353 200, but could in special cases be higher based upon qualifications, and will be increased according to normal salary policy.
Post doctors and researchers will normally be engaged for a one or two year period, with a possibility of extension contingent upon the results achieved in the period. The gross salary for post doctors will normally be NOK 435 700 to NOK 496 300.

Dear Sir,
I am Al Munsur from Bangladesh. I have successfully completed my graduation in B. Sc. Ag. (Hons.) from Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh and MS in Biotechnology on the same university. I am now looking to complete my post graduation study (PhD or MS leading PhD) in Biotechnology or related field in abroad.
Can U help me.
Dear sir,
I am Meron, Graduate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of
Asmara , Asmara , Eritrea , Horn of Africa . I would wonder your help on
how to join your University. I would be grateful for any information you
could provide with on the steps I should follow to get an admission to
your University and the steps thereafter. I had done my senior research
paper in “Wind Powered Water Desalination”. I would also like to know
about what future studies of the University plan to work on more .
Information about the modules you offer and links for broader knowledge
in Mechanical Engineering and releated fields could also be of help.I have cGPA 3.03 and
major cGPA 3.41.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Meron.

dear sir
I am a student of the MSc of naval architect at
Amirabir University of Technology [AUT]. and finished Bsc in ocean engineering. I am going to finish my Master thesis by November 2009 and that is about numerical simulation of wave propagation over submerged barriers in coastal zones. I would like to ask you if I could persue my Doctoral research beside you. Working on the coastal engineering PhD project and subject related to navier stokes equations numerically and analytically is my field of interest.
please help me about your courses, fund and things you may think is important
I am grateful in advance!
Sincerely,
sayad

Dear Sir,
I am rehan khan from Pakistan. I have been working in research organization based on naval systems since Sep 06. Previously I was done my Masters degree (MS) in Control Systems Engineering from (PIEAS) Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied sciences (The best Engineering institute of Graduate in Pakistan). The topic of my thesis was “power generation, disdribution and the control of subsurface vessel”. As my filed is related to marine systems so I would like to ask you if there is a possibility to perform my Doctoral work within your institute.
Thanks
