Among the tender requirements are the preparation of an archaeological heritage impact assessment report and a potential impact assessment project, both onshore and offshore.

“In addition to the usual archaeological research carried out in land sections for the purpose of environmental licensing, subsea archaeological research will also be conducted for the SEAP project,” Petrobras told Upstream.

The studies, according to Petrobras, will be based on hydro graphic data with the use of autonomous underwater vehicles capable of operating in water depths of up to 3000 metres.

“In case there is the need to recover any artefact on the seabed, remotely operated vehicles must be used and, for this purpose, specific vessels adapted for launching ROVs will be utilised,” Petrobras added.

Professor in Preservation of Underwater Cultural Heritage

https://www.workwithus.dk/professor-preservation-underwater-cultural-heritage?page=3

Professor in Preservation of Underwater Cultural Heritage The use of natural sciences to study and enable the preservation of archaeological materials deposited underwater has a long tradition in Denmark. The National Museum of Denmark has been a pioneering institution since the 1960s in both the development of underwater archaeological techniques and conservation of underwater finds. Through research into archaeological materials deposited underwater, it has been possible to identify the various cultural and natural (physical, chemical and biological) threats to this heritage in order to document their effects and where possible develop sustainable strategies to preserve these sites. Furthermore, in a rapidly changing ocean environment and increasing human exploitation of the marine environment, it is necessary to develop new concepts for assessing and preserving this resource. It is with this background that the National Museum wishes to create a permanent professorship in the preservation of underwater cultural heritage, in order to strengthen and further develop research in this area and to highlight and preserve Denmark´s rich underwater cultural heritage.

Job description

The Professor is expected to make a significant contribution to research and must ensure that research and outreach activities within the area are thriving. Furthermore, he or she must act as a mentor and academic supervisor to young researchers and research students. The responsibilities will primarily consist of:

  • Developing research projects at an internationally competitive level
  • Academic and public dissemination of the research results. Emphasis is placed on experience in communicating the research to a broad public in accordance with the museum´s strategy
  • Acquisition of competitive funding
  • Performing leadership, including the guidance and supervision of young researchers
  • Engaging in the museum´s internal and external academic activities
  • Contribute to the overall fulfillment of the museum´s strategy: https://en.natmus.dk/organisation/management-secretariat-and-research-administration/

Required qualifications

We are looking for an internationally recognized researcher who:

  • holds a PhD in a relevant discipline e.g., in Archaeological science, Conservation science or Environmental Archaeology or similar
  • has theoretical knowledge and practical experience of assessing and monitoring artifacts and site environment underwater using appropriate chemical, microbiological, marine geophysics and marine sedimentological methods
  • has a high degree of original academic production at an international level, including considerable contributions to the development of the academic discipline
  • has a good track-record in attracting competitive funds
  • has a high degree of experience in inter-disciplinary research, including good collaboration skills
  • has substantial practical experience with field work, especially at sea, and laboratory work
  • has qualifications and up-to date medical certificates for commercial diving with both SCUBA and surface supply
  • has experience and skills in leadership, management and administration

Since the primary working language at the National Museum is Danish, non-Danish-speaking applicants are expected to acquire the necessary Danish language skills within a short period of time (max. two years).

The employment is associated with regular travel activity and requires the possession of a valid driving license (category B).

Terms of salary and employment

The working hours are 37 hours a week.
