The Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering in partnership with ABL (https://abl-group.com) are seeking to appoint a KTP Associate to develop a versatile decision-making software solution, enabling decarbonisation strategies for the maritime industry. The versatile software solution will focus on applying modelling and simulation techniques to estimate accurately energy and emission values for maritime assets. The innovative software solution will integrate simulation, energy, and emission models, focusing on ports and vessels against various policy and regulatory regimes - a holistic approach to an inherently complex challenge. The post will be predominantly based at ABL's site in London with visits to the University of Strathclyde campus. ABL is a leading global consultancy, delivering energy, maritime, engineering & digital solutions to drive safety and sustainability in energy and oceans.
The associate will be working together with the University of Strathclyde and the University of Plymouth academics to transfer their collective specialist knowledge so the software can guide decision-makers and policymakers in adopting effective decarbonisation actions.
The position offers the KTP Associate the following benefits:
• Opportunity of a permanent position with the company; 70% of host companies make a permanent job offer to their Associate at the end of the project
• The opportunity to make a difference in decarbonisation and in the effort to limit the adverse effects of climate change.
• Apply your academic knowledge to a real life challenge
• You’ll ‘own’ your own project, linked to both a university and a business whose experienced teams will provide you with full support. Applying academic knowledge to a real world challenge, this is a chance to deliver impact and shape your career.
• KTPs offer extensive opportunities for graduates and post-grads, as you provide the link between an expert academic team and a dynamic company. This ‘bridge’ gives you unique and exceptional access to both worlds.
• A fulfilling employment opportunity where you can apply your knowledge to turn a key strategic innovation idea in to reality
• The chance to implement strategic development within an innovative company
• Dedicated coaching, mentoring and personal development, as you manage your own personal training budget
• KTP Associates spend around 10% of their time in training and personal development. At the start of the KTP you get a training budget to manage – so you decide which courses would benefit you.
The project is part of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme that aims to help businesses to innovate and grow by working with UK universities.
