MSDS Marine are pleased to continue be able to offer two annual grant awards for maritime archaeology in the UK.
Maritime archaeology in England and Wales is underpinned by Licensees and their teams volunteering their time and enthusiasm to help ensure the wreck sites are enjoyed, researched and protected. Licensees and their teams have played a huge role in the careers of all MSDS Marine staff. They have inspired us, taught us and helped us develop our skills and to recognise this we would like to give something back. To recognise this our first grant supports Licensees and their teams.
The second award MSDS Marine award is to help support maritime archaeology students in the UK. The growing MSDS Marine team includes a number of early years’ professionals who have all recently completed university courses. Their recent experience highlights the significant costs faced by students to complete their education. We strongly believe fieldwork and other training experiences help create professionals with a more rounded skill set and are keen to help allow students to maximise the experiences that they get. To this end we offer many volunteer opportunities for students but we are now also keen to help support them financially to gain experiences which might otherwise be unaffordable.
This year we are trying to reflect 50 years of protected wrecks a bit more. For the student award we are really keen to hear from students who would use the grant to help support something related to protected wrecks. It could be through volunteering, research or supporting Licensees in another way!
In addition to the two main grant awards we would like to help celebrate fifty years of protected wreck by working with groups to create new leaflets for protected wreck sites in England. If you think the site you work on, or a group of sites regionally, will benefit from a new leaflet we would love to hear from you! The design work for the leaflet will be done by Alison at MSDS Marine in the Historic England style and we will work with teams and Historic England to select the best images and agree text before getting the leaflets printed and sending them out to teams to use and distribute locally.
More information about all the awards is on the MSDS Marine website here:
Applications for 2024 are open. They will close November 15, 2023 (except for the Undergraduate Marine Research Internship, which closes January 15, 2024). Descriptions of scholarships and grants that will be offered are be posted below.
The Women Divers Hall of Fame ™ (WDHOF) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring and raising awareness of the contributions of outstanding women divers. WDHOF provides educational, mentorship, financial, and career opportunities to the diving community throughout the world. Each year, WDHOF awards scholarships and training grants that provide financial and educational support to individuals of all ages.

The University is seeking to a talented, enthusiastic, and motivated PhD candidate to undertake research on the Submerged Archaeological Landscapes of South East Asia, under Dr Fitch’s UKRI FLF funded project “Life on the Edge” (LOTE).
Building on Bradford’s world leading research expertise in Submerged Prehistoric Landscapes and the resources provided by the LOTE Future Leaders Fellowship, this PhD seeks to undertake innovative archaeological research into the landscapes of South East Asia that were submerged by sea level rise following the end of the last glaciation. The goal of PhD will be to use existing survey data made available by project partners to take the first steps in exploring and confirming the presence of unexplored submerged landscapes in areas such the Yellow Sea, offshore regions of Japan and Thailand, which are vital to our understanding of the archaeology of the region. It is foreseen that the PhD’s research will contribute to interdisciplinary academic outputs, including climate modelling, environmental humanities, sustainable development initiatives, as well as informing heritage management throughout the region. This research is timely since information on the archaeology of these submerged regions will be urgently needed as offshore windfarms expand significantly in this region over the next decades as coastal nations adopt clean-energy infrastructures.
The PhD candidate will be able to draw on both the expertise at Bradford, and that of regional partners, including those in Japan, to support them and allow them to achieve this research. Successful candidates should have a track record in geographical information systems, and have strong analytical skills, however training will be provided for specialist software packages. Opportunities to train during offshore marine surveys will also be provided in conjunction with the LOTE projects ship surveys, should the candidate wish to take part in these activities. The PhD therefore provides the candidate with an unrivalled opportunity to work with international partners and use cutting edge technologies to undertake a unique piece of research into how the submerged landscapes of South East Asia, and their human populations responded to rapid changes in climate and sea-level at the end of the Last Glaciation.
The successful candidate will start their PhD in February 2024.
