This project concerns seakeeping performance and design criteria for smaller vessels such as work boats, pilot boats, rescue boats, and smaller passenger ferries, involving academia as well as industry partners. The project will involve numerical and experimental studies as well as interviewing and questionnaire methods catching the human factors perspective on decision making and work performance.
An Industry-University partnership involving, in the first instance, the University of Strathclyde – Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and DNV GL Classification Society is brought together to establish a world-class centre of excellence, a reference and a shaping force of maritime safety.
We have available at the Maritime Safety Research Centre of the University of Strathclyde 3 fully-funded PhD positions for EU students to work on Damage Stability of Cruise Ships, Complex and Cyber-Physical Systems Safety and Security and on Fire Safety. In the first instance, interested candidates could email their CV to Professor Dracos Vassalos (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)
PhD positions are now open for application in the field of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at University of Trieste, Doctorate in Engineering and Architecture for cycle XXIX, Academic year 2013-2014. Click here for PDF info.
One of the open PhD positions is funded by CNR-INSEAN (Rome) with topic "Intermediate and long term wave and ship motion prediction in complex sea-states", in the framework of research activities at CNR-INSEAN in the field of numerical and experimental methods for propagation of water waves and for short, medium and long term prediction of ship motions.
