Internships with NHHC Underwater Archaeology

The Naval History and Heritage Command’s Underwater Archaeology Branch (UAB) is responsible for the management, research, preservation, and interpretation of the US Navy’s sunken military craft. The Navy oversees one of the largest collections of submerged cultural resources, which includes over 2,500 shipwrecks and 14,000 aircraft wrecks dispersed globally. The UAB was established to manage these sites and to advise NHHC and the Department of the Navy on all matters related to the science of underwater archaeology and historic preservation as it pertains to military ship and aircraft wreck sites.

An important objective for NHHC is public outreach and education, which the UAB accomplishes by disseminating information, issuing publications, developing education materials, and providing lectures to the Navy and the general public on underwater archaeology, conservation, history, and cultural resources management policy. We also offer internships for undergraduate and graduate students! Learn about the NHHC internship program.

We actively seek eager students wanting to learn about the maritime archaeology field to gain real world experience working in a federal archaeological  program. Interns gain experience with policy, ship, aircraft and cultural resource management research, conservation and public outreach issues.

Flinders University’s Department of Archaeology is offering a three-year PhD scholarship for full-time research on an Australian Research Council (ARC) funded research project entitled “The Deep History of Sea Country: Climate, Sea-Level and Culture”.

This exciting project is a partnership between Flinders University, University of Western Australia, James Cook University, Curtin University, Aarhus University (Denmark) and the University of York (United Kingdom).

This project aims to investigate the records of the now-submerged Pilbara coast (50,000 to 7,000 years ago). The project integrates cultural and environmental studies and material analysis, and adapts a method from confirmed submarine middens in the SW Baltic Sea. Therefore a component of the project will also evaluate the process of submerged at known submerged deposits. The project will use marine, aerial and diver-based survey and recording techniques to investigate physical and cultural submerged landscapes. This project expects to influence heritage and environmental management and the marine heritage sector in addition to expanding the discipline of maritime archaeology in Australia to include submerged pre-contact archaeology.

The successful applicant will have relevant experience in Australian Archaeology and/or Baltic Archaeology and will be prepared to work on a project aimed at deep time and human-environment interaction. The successful applicant will have an interest in coastal hunter-gatherers and early maritime communities and will be able to work independently and as part of a larger team. The successful applicant will undertake their research within the Department of Archaeology’s Maritime Archaeology Program.

The PhD candidate will receive Principal supervision by Dr Jonathan Benjamin, with support of the project team and other internal experts at Flinders.

BENEFITS and TENURE

The scholarship includes:

• a stipend  valued at $26,682* per annum tax free (*increased annually by consumer price index)
• a Research Training Program Fee Offset Scholarship to cover tuition fees.

The scholarship will be awarded for a maximum of three years. Recipients may be eligible for one six month extension subject to application and consideration by the Scholarships Committee.

The project will be resourced through the field budget, providing a unique and well funded program of underwater archaeological, geoarchaeological and geophysical activities and mentorship.

The mission of the North Carolina Maritime Museum is to collect, preserve, research, document, and interpret the maritime history, culture, and environment of coastal North Carolina for diverse, public and specialized audiences to inspire appreciation, encourage discovery, and promote an active, responsible understanding for maritime heritage among present and future generations.

In 1996 an 18th-century shipwreck was discovered adjacent to Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina. Based on its location, date, and analysis of the artifact assemblage, the wreck is identified as the pirate Blackbeard’s flagship Queen Anne’s Revenge (QAR) (1718). The location of the site is in NC state waters; the wreck belongs to the state of North Carolina. NCR is the parent organization responsible for the management, protection, preservation and development of the Queen Anne’s Revenge (QAR) Shipwreck.

This position’s working title is QAR Conservator (IMLS). The position is a two-year, time-limited, permanent position for an archaeological conservator. It is grant funded and part of an IMLS Collections Stewardship Project (MA-30-16-0501-16) for the QAR.
