Have you got expertise in acoustic modelling? We are looking for a researcher to explore the use of existing and future ORE infrastructure for measurement systems.

The UK has an extensive network of offshore renewable energy (ORE) infrastructure for wind and tidal power generation, and this is growing rapidly to meet the ambition of a net-zero future by 2050. Offshore wind power capacity was 11 GW in 2021 (approximately 10% of the UK’s consumption). Tidal power capacity is currently

Our project will involve generating a comprehensive list of ORE sites, evaluating the suitability of each site for acoustic-based monitoring (including propagation coverage, ambient noise, proximity to shipping lanes, bio-acoustic interest, etc), and the ease of dual-purposing. Once the sites have been ranked, a site (or sites) with the highest viability (both acoustic utility and commercial feasibility) will be selected for a more detailed analysis of acoustic performance.

You will need to have specialist knowledge of underwater acoustics and excellent verbal, written and interpersonal skills to succeed in the role. You will also need a PhD degree in a subject area of direct relevance for the project, or equivalent significant relevant experience and professional qualification
