University of Southampton – School of History

https://www.myscience.org/jobs/id2360270-research_fellow-university_of_southampton

Applications are invited for a full-time Research Fellow (6 months) to work on a project funded by the Janus Foundation, hosted by the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Southampton.

Kent’s unique position, particularly its proximity to both London and Europe, has meant that the county has been of strategic maritime importance since the Romans landed in 55BC. The narrow channel between Dover and Calais offers an opportunity to monitor and control both trade and military activity and so the control of this short stretch of water could provide significant strategic power. One of the strongest influences on the development of Kent’s maritime importance has been England’s ever-changing relationship with France, as our nearest neighbour, as well as with the Low Countries and Europe more generally.

The project will examine Kent’s maritime trade and coastal communities over an important period of English history. The project is particularly interested in examining the ships, shipmasters and merchants who worked out of Kent’s ports, and the commodities they traded in. This will be achieved by undertaking a systematic investigation of the records related to maritime commercial activity over the period 1450-1650.

With a strong record of interdisciplinary research, you will also have familiarity with computer databases and/or digital humanities research methods. A demonstrably high-level of skill in medieval and early modern English palaeography is an essential requirement of the post.

The successful applicant will be part of a large cross-institutional and interdisciplinary research team, be based at the University of Southampton and Canterbury Christ Church University, and will be supervised by Dr Craig Lambert (Southampton, Department of History) and Dr Shelia Sweetinburgh (Canterbury Christ Church)

Applications will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon completion of PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.

You should submit your completed online application form at https://jobs.soton.ac.uk . The application deadline will be midnight on the closing date stated above. If you need any assistance, please call Holly Shergold (Recruitment Team) on +44 (0) 23 8059 5719, or email recruitment@soton.ac.uk . Please quote reference 1954822AR on all correspondence.

Glasgow School of Art – Simulation and Visualisation

https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CSW209/research-associate-10-fte-unity-vr-research-developer-for-maritime-heritage

This role will primarily focus on ‘Unpath’d Waters (UNPATH) a major new research project funded by the AHRC’s Towards a National Collection Programme. Led by Historic England, Unpath brings together first class universities, heritage agencies, museums, charitable trusts and maritime heritage experts to work across the UK and the Isle of Man building connections between multiple major maritime collections. It will use Artificial Intelligence to devise new ways of searching across newly linked collections, simulations to help visualise the wrecks and landscapes, and scientific techniques to help identify wrecks and find out more about the artefacts and objects associated with them. UNPATH will deliver integrated management tools to help protect our most significant marine and maritime heritage.

A core element of UNPATH’s research activity, led by the School of Simulation and Visualisation at Glasgow School of Art, focuses on meaningful access to maritime data through novel immersive (VR/AR/XR) interfaces. These will be designed to serve multiple new audiences and these interfaces will be rigorously co-designed with each intended audience. This process will be undertaken in collaboration with a number of UNPATH partners including MOLA and the Universities of Southampton, St Andrews and Bradford. The outcomes of the work will be widely shared to inform, engage and inspire new and existing audiences.

We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic and talented VR (UNITY) developer and researcher who will work with the UNPATH team and lead the development of the final immersive output and other associated maritime heritage outputs.
