The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience supports exceptional graduates into exciting research projects that aid the sustainable growth of the offshore wind industry.
The UK is committed to the use of offshore wind energy to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The Offshore Wind CDT enables delivery of this target by developing environmental and engineering solutions to key offshore wind sector challenges, supporting a sustainable future.
The Offshore Wind CDT is a partnership between the universities of Durham, Hull, Loughborough and Sheffield. It integrates the core strengths of each institution in environment, engineering, economics and energy, providing training, as well as benefitting from the support of industry-based supervisors.
Your research could make a real impact to the environmental and engineering challenges facing the offshore wind industry. The CDT works closely with over 40 international industry partners and many of the available research projects have industry sponsors. We seek high quality, innovative people whose backgrounds, experience and identity broadens and enhances the diversity of our existing team and the offshore wind sector.
