The Research Specialist is responsible for the design and implementation of research projects that are aligned with the Institute’s cultural heritage engineering and technology programs, and that engage students and staff in the lab and in the field. Under the general direction of the director of the Center of Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture, and Archaeology (CISA3) housed within the Qualcomm Institute/Calit2, the Research Specialist will lead and conduct original research involving the application of enabling technologies and digital workflows to the documentation and study of cultural heritage sites, structures, and objects.
The Research Specialist will lead an emerging CISA3 focus on underwater cultural heritage and is expected to draw from a background in marine robotic platforms (e.g. ROV, AUV) as well as from experience involving the deployment of such technology. Expertise in photogrammetric techniques is also essential, as is knowledge of underwater remote sensing survey methodologies.
In addition to leading collaborative research projects involving underwater and maritime heritage, the Research Specialist will perform duties in the following areas: student-driven research and expedition support; relations between researchers, faculty and industry partners; fund raising (in collaboration with, and under the direction of the Directors of Advancement and Office of Innovation and Commercialization); public relations; program planning; and educational outreach.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
Ashtabula County Underwater Archaeology Survey
The Ohio History Connection’s State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) seeks professional consultant services for completion of a survey to identify and evaluate marine cultural resources within the Lake Erie waters of Ashtabula County, Ohio. The survey area for this project will include areas of higher potential for submerged cultural resources within an estimated 30 square miles of the approximately 30 linear-mile Ashtabula County shoreline area. To date, three shipwrecks have been previously identified within this area and no professional archaeological survey has been conducted. Results of this project will be used as a model for the planning of future surveys within Lake Erie, the coordination of relevant federal and state projects under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, and for disaster planning in Ohio waters as it relates to marine cultural resources. The available funding for this project, which is supported by Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief funds (CFDA 15.957), is $40,000-$60,000.

Nautical Archaeology Training Workshop and Dinner
One of the cornerstones of the shipwreck research program at the National Museum of the Great Lakes is its training program run in conjunction with the Maritime Archaeology Survey Team (MAST). This training program has trained over 350 avocational archaeologists over the last 15 years. The training occurs over three days: April 29-30 and either May 20 or 21. You do not have to be a SCUBA diver to take the training. Classroom training takes place at the National Museum of the Great Lakes in Toledo, Ohio. In-water practice takes place at White Star Quarry in Gibsonburg, Ohio.
Over the course of three days, our Basic Workshop will teach students the basics of surveying a shipwreck. We will cover: Ship Terms, Laws and Ethics, Research, Survey Tools, and Trilateration (the technique we use to measure shipwrecks) as well as much more.
The workshop is designed for divers and non-divers. The work is also appropriate for novice or new divers. The cost of the class is $170 and covers all materials needed, breakfast and lunch in April, as well as the dinner program on April 29. Please note: this is a three day class – a full weekend in April with classroom and dry run practicals. Then one of two days in May (20 or 21) for in-water practice. In conjunction with the training, MAST will host their annual meeting and dinner program. The annual dinner is open to everyone. This year’s dinner speaker – Wayne Lusardi, Michigan State Underwater Archaeologist – will discuss aircraft wrecks in the Great Lakes.
Members of MAST have the opportunity to assist with the investigation and recording of shipwrecks in Lake Erie each summer. For more information, visit http://www.ohiomast.org/.
