Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.
The Liverpool Logistics Offshore and Marine Research Institute (LOOM) within the Faculty of Engineering and Technology at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), is focused on designing and operating large marine, offshore, port, transport, and logistics systems. Our research outputs are rated 96% world-leading or internationally excellent, and research impacts are rated 100% world-leading or internationally excellent.
LOOM seeks to appoint an exceptional
Research Assistant
with a keen interest in alternative marine energy systems, electrification technologies, and energy-saving devices. This role is part of the EU Horizon-funded project “Retrofit Solutions to Achieve 55% GHG Reduction By 2030,” which focuses on developing energy-saving retrofitting solutions to achieve a 35% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Responsibilities: Analyse integrated systems to fulfil power demands. Optimise hybrid fuel cell systems that incorporate other energy solutions. Conduct risk assessments and formulate mitigation strategies. Delineate installation and operational requirements for these systems. Qualifications: Master’s degree in mechanical engineering, Offshore Engineering, Marine Engineering, or Naval Architecture. PhD is desirable but not necessary. Knowledge and interest in marine systems design, energy optimisation, and computational analysis of power systems. Familiarity with hydrogen-based technologies, hybrid energy systems, risk analysis, and safety standards is desirable. You must demonstrate the ability to collaborate effectively within research networks and build relationships with existing and potential partners. This position will be offered on a fixed term contract for 6 months (with the possibility of a further 6-month extension), with an expected start date as soon as possible. Informal enquiries can be made to the project leader, Dr Eduardo Blanco-Davis, at
e.e.blancodavis@ljmu.ac.uk . In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies. This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do. If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you. The department is committed to promoting equality and diversity, including the Athena SWAN Gender Equality charter for promoting the career of Women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) in higher education. We particularly welcome applications from women for this post, and all appointments will be made on merit.
