Exciting Opportunities for Early Career Researchers

The Unpath’d Waters project is currently looking to recruit two short-term post-graduate or post-doctoral research associates with a passion for maritime archaeology to help us in two key areas of our project. Both posts will be recruited to Bangor University and are for three-month fixed term contracts. Both roles are suitable for 100% remote working and will be available from December 2023 with work to be completed by April 2024. Please see attached document for more details.

Role 1: Data archives and wreck identification

This role will be to help identify located but unnamed wrecks in the Irish Sea. The successful applicant will identify, collate and research maritime archives (analogue and digital) associated with specific vessel losses in the Irish Sea and support the integration of these records with outputs from multibeam sonar surveys of wreck sites to facilitate vessel/wreck identification. This is a superb opportunity to work on a major national inter-disciplinary project with experts in the field of maritime archaeology and ocean sciences. The role would be supported by the research team leader based at Bangor University and will have a clear focus on identifying a number of vessels lost during WWI off the west coast of the Isle of Man. The role will involve close collaboration with external project partners to support the development of innovative and effective mechanisms to link related maritime archives, marine data and museum related collections at a national and local level. Your contributions will be recognised fully in the products of Unpath’d Waters, which completes in November 2024.

Role 2: Marine Data Standards Guidance development

The key aim for this post is to revise the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) Guides to Good Practice relevant to marine geophysical survey. The new guide will play a crucial role in combining existing guidance notes and recommendations from the national heritage bodies, leading researchers and practitioners into a single unified and accessible resource. The new guide will cover the whole lifecycle of a project, from design phase through to deposition of a digital archive. It will need to include and reference the requirements of funders from across the UK heritage sector, as well as incorporate guidance and standards from key partners dealing with maritime environment data including MEDIN and NERC Environmental Data Service. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on a major national project and with experts in the field of maritime archaeology. The role would also be supported by a data standards specialist from the ADS to advise on technical aspects such and how to structure the research. The final output will be the first of the new generation of Guides to Good Practice documents and would be hosted with the ADS with a DOI for citation purposes. While the role will be recruited to Bangor University, the successful applicant will also work closely with project team members based in the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) at the University of York.

The conference will also feature a keynote address by Professor Alison Cathcart, Professor of Early Modern Scottish and Archipelagic History at the University of Stirling, who will speak on “The ‘scattered isles in the polar ocean’: Scotland and the sea in the (long) sixteenth century.”

The Conference, which is supported by the Society for Nautical Research, helps emerging scholars who wish to share their work in a supportive environment and build relations with other maritime historians. We encourage applications from postgraduate students and warmly encourage participation by independent scholars. Contributions can address all aspects of maritime history in its broadest sense.

Those wishing to offer a paper should fill in and submit an application via this Google Form: https://forms.gle/NRvgsE4oaP6KfqdS9 by 15 January 2024.

Please direct any queries to newresearchers@maritimehistory.org.uk
