In the maritime sector, there is a need for academic and more practice-based research to reinforce each other to make the sector safer and more sustainable. Technological solutions are offered from academia. However, without a deep understanding of the everyday practice of the sector, there might be doubt that the full potential of these developments can be realised. The Professional Doctorate-program can bridge this gap by making knowledge practically applicable.
The Professional Doctorate is the practice-oriented equivalent of PhD tracks at universities where the candidate conducts research at a university of applied sciences at the highest level.
We are looking for candidates who recognise themselves in one or more of the following profiles:
- Managers and senior professionals working in private/public organisations in the maritime domain.
- Academic staff working at universities of applied sciences/ universities looking for a further step in their research career.
- Can you research predictive maintenance from a financial, environmental and operational perspective
- Are you making a contribution to a safer and more sustainable sector by combining academic and practice-based research
- Do you have the opportunity to work in a practice-oriented equivalent of
University PhD tracks at a university of applied sciences, in Amsterdam
Here’s how you will make a differenceYou conduct practice-oriented research that contributes to the sustainability, safety and competitiveness of the maritime sector. In particular our group is engaged in multiple (inter-) national research projects which include the topic of predictive maintenance. In such an approach, maintenance takes place when it is beneficial from a financial, environmental and operational perspective.
During your Professional Doctorate route you follow support courses to further develop yourself and your research skills. As a member of our multidisciplinary team you are supervised by a professor and fellow researchers.
