Maritime Archaeology Research Exchange

Dear young researchers,

The call for papers for the 2020 MARE Conference in Hamburg is public!

The idea behind this conference is to establish an international network for students who are interested in Maritime Archaeology. For this, we, students from the University of Hamburg, want to offer researchers a platform on which they can share and discuss the results of their recent research.

For more information visit us at www.mareconferencehamburg.wordpress.com

and apply until 29.02.2020!

Kind regards and see you in Hamburg.

Sr. Data Exploitation Analysts

I know 4 underwater archaeologists who work here and have this job. Don’t overlook this post.

Oceaneering is a global provider of engineered services and products, primarily to the offshore energy industry. We develop products and services for use throughout the lifecycle of an offshore oilfield, from drilling to decommissioning. We operate the world’s premier fleet of work class ROVs. Additionally, we are a leader in offshore oilfield maintenance services, umbilicals, subsea hardware, and tooling. We also use applied technology expertise to serve the defense, entertainment, material handling, aerospace, science, and renewable energy industries.

Oceaneering Technologies (OTECH) performs a wide range of engineering services and products for unique marine systems for military and commercial customers. OTECH innovates wherever practical rather than inventing making it “faster to field” than others in its industry; the typical development/delivery cycle for complex mechanical, hydraulic, electrical systems is often completed in 12-15 months. Technical capabilities span the entire engineering spectrum. These skills have been demonstrated in successfully delivered systems, including Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs); Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs); saturation diving systems; surface and sub-surface vehicle launch and recovery systems; advanced offshore cranes; and life support systems.

The Senior Data Exploitation Analyst participates in all phases of data collection, processing, and reporting at a customer site in Suitland/Camp Spring, MD. The primary responsibilities of this role are to acquire, analyze, compile, evaluate, and review data for use in standard products, non-standard products, and/or data holdings in support of mission requirements.
