Offshore Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (OHRES) PhD Opportunity

Griffith University is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join a cutting-edge research initiative focused on Offshore Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (OHRES). The project aims to develop an innovative GIS-based spatial decision-support tool to autonomously identify optimal offshore locations for renewable energy system deployment.

This tool will assist energy planners and system managers in making informed, visual, and data-driven decisions. The research is primarily desk-based but will involve meaningful collaboration with leading industry partners including CSIRO, Pitt & Sherry, and the Blue Economy CRC.

Project Title: Market-Driven Site Selection and System Integration In partnership with the Blue Economy CRC

Industry Collaboration & Support

The project is part of the Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) program and will be conducted in partnership with:

  • Griffith University's School of Engineering and Built Environment
  • CSIRO
  • Pitt & Sherry
  • Blue Economy CRC

The selected candidate will be based at Griffith University's Gold Coast campus and integrated into a dynamic, multidisciplinary research team affiliated with a relevant centre or institute.
