ECU Maritime Studies Program Administrative Support Associate – Advanced
https://ecu.peopleadmin.com/postings/81736
The Maritime Studies Program (MSP) is a part of ECU’s Department of History. It houses the MA in Maritime Studies, a graduate program sought by individuals wanting careers as maritime historians and underwater archaeologists. Established in 1981, students can study both maritime history and nautical archaeology while concentrating on a single historical period, regional area, or thematic interest. Students can study a combination of courses in maritime history, nautical archaeology, or conservation under the aegis of a single program. The core maritime faculty are active, publishing scholars who engage regularly in maritime fieldwork initiatives with students. We are also members of a History Department with two dozen historians who provide additional instruction and guidance. The underwater archaeology faculty teaches a broad range of courses including material culture, excavation, conservation, archaeological principles, and maritime history. Through summer and fall field schools, students work on diverse submerged and terrestrial maritime historic sites under faculty supervision in the USA and abroad.
Since its inception the Program has graduated almost 400 MA students. Most of our graduates get jobs in the field as contract archaeologists, government cultural resource managers, museum archaeologists, curators, museum directors, national and state park staff, conservators, and teachers at all levels. Qualified students enjoy extensive university support in the form of graduate assistantships and scholarships. These positions supply both teaching and research experience.
The primary purpose of this position is to provide administrative support for the program director, faculty, staff, and students. Additionally, the position provides administrative support to the Department of History Lead Administrator position, and provides travel, invoicing, and student registration support as necessary. This position will utilize exceptional interpersonal and organizational skills and work with the director, faculty, staff, students, and university personnel as well as with the public while maintaining an efficient and organized office. This position will produce letters, reports, and other documents that are accurate and completed in a timely manner. The position uses advanced knowledge of numerous software programs such as Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access) as well as East Carolina University purchasing and administrative programs such as student payroll, student database, and finance systems. The position also will function as the general office manager for the administrative office and the student computer lab, supervise graduate assistants, prepare all building and equipment work order and schedule the MSP’s four vehicles.
We would like your feedback on the draft Technical Guidelines on the Archaeological Assessment of First Nations Underwater Cultural Heritage in Commonwealth Waters.
https://consult.dcceew.gov.au/technical-guidelines-archaeological-assessment-of-fnuch
We would like your feedback on the draft Technical Guidelines on the Archaeological Assessment of First Nations Underwater Cultural Heritage in Commonwealth Waters.
The draft guidelines address the demand for Commonwealth standards for the archaeological assessment and management of First Nations underwater cultural heritage in the near and offshore development industry in Commonwealth waters. They guide near and offshore developers (proponents) and underwater archaeologists (consultants) on how to meet the requirements of the Underwater Cultural Heritage Act 2018 (UCH Act), for protecting and managing First Nations (archaeological) underwater cultural heritage.
First Nations people have occupied the lands and waters of Australia for millennia. During that occupation period sea levels have fluctuated but were approximately 40 meters lower or more than present sea levels for most of that time. During the last Ice Age, the continent was much larger because sea levels were significantly lower, down to approximately 125 meters below present sea levels.
The physical evidence that people lived on parts of the continent that are now underwater could be impacted by near and offshore development. The draft guidelines communicate ways to locate and assess potential archaeological sites and artefacts which form part of this underwater cultural heritage. It also highlights stakeholder communication expectations.
The draft guidelines include:
- discussion of legal requirements, protections and definitions under the UCH Act
- discussion of international best practice and its application in Commonwealth waters
- a national standard framework (archaeological methods and techniques) for the archaeological assessment of First Nations UCH (how to locate, investigate and report underwater archaeological sites)
- standards for assessment, mitigation and management of potential impacts to First Nations underwater archaeological sites
- protocols for appropriate stakeholder engagement and consultation.
To have your say
- Read the draft Technical Guidelines on the Archaeological Assessment of First Nations Underwater Cultural Heritage in Commonwealth Waters
- Take our survey
- Upload your submission or feedback by 5.00pm ADST on Friday, 29 November 2024.

Drowned Paleolandscapes – a geological record for assessing landscape and environment response to postglacial sea level rise and climate change
I’m hiring a PhD student for my project “Drowned Paleolandscapes – a geological record for assessing landscape and environment response to postglacial sea level rise and climate change” funded by the Carlsberg Foundation.
Read more here: https://lnkd.in/d3MwCTgm
Earliest start date is 1 February 2025 and the application deadline is 1 November 2024.
Applications are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School of Natural Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Geoscience programme. The position is available from February 2025 or later.
Title:
Drowned Paleolandscapes – a geological record for assessing landscape and environment response to postglacial sea level rise and climate change
Research area and project description:
Candidates are invited to apply for a PhD fellowship focused on submerged paleolandscape analysis primarily by means of high-resolution marine geophysical data and sediment cores, with possibilities of utilizing numerical modeling approaches and machine learning.
The successful candidate will become part of the RisingSea research group working to assess and quantify the preservation degree of drowned paleolandscapes and the response of low-topography landscapes and environments to rising sea level. More broadly, the project aims to utilize the geological archives of the eastern North Sea Basin to develop our basic understanding and reference framework for how low-topography landscapes and environments respond to rising sea level and climate change over longer time scales.
One of the main objectives of the research group is to establish a Drowned Paleolandscape Atlas, where the geophysical characteristics of specific preserved landscape types are described, and seismic morphologies are linked to various paleoenvironments. The PhD candidate will contribute to this work.
The PhD candidate will use seismo-acoustic data and sediment cores to study the geological processes that are prevalent during flooding and sea-level rise. The results will be of relevance for future climate mitigation and adaptions, sustainable use of the coastal zones, offshore windfarm constructions and geo-archaeology.
The project involves offshore fieldwork opportunities and close collaboration with research and industry partners both nationally and internationally; – including universities and research institutions in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. The PhD project will preferably include a research visit to one of the collaborating institutions.
The PhD position is funded by the Carlsberg Foundation.
