Interested in joining a dynamic team dedicated to ocean exploration and education? Opportunities to join the Ocean Exploration Trust and E/V Nautilus in a professional position are posted here when available.

​Ocean Exploration Trust Mission​​​​​​​​​​​

The E/V Nautilus is operated by the non-profit organization Ocean Exploration Trust, founded in 2008 by Dr. Robert Ballard to engage in pure ocean exploration. Our international programs center on scientific exploration of the seafloor and many of our expeditions are launched from aboard Exploration Vessel (E/V) Nautilus, a 64-meter research vessel operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. In addition to conducting scientific research, we offer our expeditions to explorers on shore via live video, audio, and data feeds from the field. We also bring educators and students of all ages aboard during E/V Nautilus expeditions, offering them hands-on experience in ocean exploration, research, and communications.​ Learn more about our exploration and education programs at NautilusLive.org.

The Koç University Mustafa V. Koç Maritime Archaeology Research Center (KUDAR) was established as part of Koç University in 2017 in memory of Mustafa V. Koç. With a mission to become the foremost international institution studying the relationship between society and the sea, KUDAR is one of the many research centers affiliated with the Department of Archaeology and History of Art at Koç University. To pursue this mission, KUDAR supports and promotes Turkish and international scholars conducting high-impact research on, heritage management of, and conservation activities upon material culture emblematic of this relationship. The center prioritizes and supports research in the Humanities and Social Sciences – primarily Archaeology – but also Anthropology, History, Geography, Heritage Management, Conservation, and similar disciplines that contribute to its overall mission; studies in the applied and natural sciences that pursue the center’s mission are appropriate as well.
