Research Fellow in Offshore Renewable Energy (Computational Geosciences): Intelligent & Resilient Ocean Engineering

Location: Boldrewood Campus

Fixed Term: Until 31/08/2025

We seek to recruit a future-looking visionary early career researcher with strong interests in the oceans and the desire and ability to work across the geosciences. Applications are sought from geotechnical engineers and geophysicists to carry out research addressing the fundamental relationships between geophysical and geotechnical properties of geomaterials, and the development of methods to integrate geophysical and geotechnical site investigation data to derive synthetic geotechnical parameters and inform on requirements for geophysical investigation. We seek applicants with geotechnical engineering experience, geophysical data analysis and machine learning skills.

The Research Fellow in Intelligent & Resilient Ocean Engineering – Geoscience will join a large community of scholars at Southampton working across the marine and maritime space. This is an exceptional opportunity for an early career researcher with a drive to address key marine or maritime challenges. The successful applicant will be based at the new National Infrastructure Laboratory on the University’s Boldrewood Innovation Campus, working within the Centre of Excellence for Intelligent & Resilient Ocean Engineering.

This project forms part of the activities of and is funded by a Royal Academy of Engineering Chair of Emerging Technologies in Intelligent & Resilient Ocean Engineering.
