The School of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh is delighted to invite applications for a three-year international PhD studentship fully-funded by the Honor Frost Foundation.

Application deadline: 4 October 2021, PhD start date January 2022.

The PhD scholarship is tenable for a maximum of three years, commencing January 2022, at an annual stipend of £16,000 with an additional travel fund of £1,000 per annum. Tuition fees will also be paid directly to the University at the appropriate fee rate.

The Studentship

We are looking for a PhD proposal that sets out to identify ways in which marine heritage can be part of ethical, inclusive and sustainable development in the eastern Mediterranean. The approach should consider the role marine heritage can play in helping to address the challenges in the region.

We invite applications from any discipline including, but not limited to, archaeology (maritime and terrestrial), anthropology, coastal management, cultural heritage, digital humanities, development law, environmental science, ocean science, museum studies, history and visual arts. While proposals can come from any discipline or perspective, they MUST include Marine Cultural Heritage as a resource that can inform solutions to present day challenges at the core of their approach. Proposals can consider the eastern Mediterranean as a whole or be focussed on one or a range of countries in the region.

Proposals should aim to identify the ways in which marine heritage can be seen to be an asset to sustainable development. They should demonstrate how marine heritage, and the data set it can provide, has an important role to play in evidence-based decision-making across the coastal and marine sectors. This could include informing Blue Economy initiatives such as heritage tourism, coastal and offshore development projects, coastal management, climate change mitigation, fisheries management, as well as marine ecosystem conservation, marine spatial planning, policymaking and ocean governance more widely.

Eligibility Criteria

You must be a citizen of Lebanon, Cyprus, Egypt or Syria. Due to funding this studentship is ONLY open to nationals of these countries.

The PhD scholarship requires a good 2:1 honours degree (or equivalent) and a Masters degree in any related discipline (see above).

During their doctoral research, the successful candidate will be required to submit annual reports on their progress to the HFF and contribute towards the Foundation’s activities, including supporting the annual lecture, promoting the Foundation and its activities whenever possible, including social media. https://honorfrostfoundation.org.

Underwater archaeological expedition, St. Eustatius

The Shipwreck Survey, in cooperation with the St. Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research (SECAR), is organizing an underwater archaeological expedition on St. Eustatius in the Dutch Caribbean, from July 2 to 16, 2022.

St. Eustatius, a tiny island in the northeastern Caribbean, was the busiest port in the Americas in the late eighteenth century and played an instrumental role in supplying arms and ammunition to the rebels during the Revolutionary War. The island is believed to have the densest concentration of archaeological sites of any area of comparable size in the New World, and is dotted with the remains of sugar plantations, cemeteries, old warehouses, fortifications, and marine structures. The waters surrounding the island are home to an estimated 200 shipwreck sites. Nowadays St. Eustatius is relatively quiet and undeveloped. It has a population of some 3,500 people. There are no large resorts, casinos, night clubs, or crowds of tourists. Instead, the island is a hidden gem with friendly people, little to no crime, beautiful national parks, and a laid-back atmosphere.

The 2022 summer expedition builds on our successful 2019 program, during which we surveyed some of the more remote parts of the waters around St. Eustatius. It will focus on discovering and documenting unknown shipwrecks and other submerged archaeological sites through extensive underwater surveys. We will then document these using a variety of techniques. Documentary research will complement the field work and provide context to our findings.

Diving during the expedition will be truly ‘off the beaten path’; we will go to places that no one has ever been before and see things that no diver has ever seen. That also means we will be diving further offshore and in deeper waters – the diving will be a bit more advanced than during our regular field school. We therefore require participants to have at minimum an Advanced Open Water certification, 25 dives of experience, and be certified to dive with Enriched Air (this is an easy 1-day course that can also be done on the island). You are more than welcome to sign up for the program if you do not yet possess the required dive experience and certifications, as long as you meet the requirements at the start of the program.

Participants will be completely immersed in Caribbean history and archaeology through various presentations, workshops, and site visits. Interested participants will have the opportunity to work on, and co-author, a publication on the research results. See http://www.theshipwrecksurvey.com for a complete list of all activities during this program.

The island of St. Eustatius is relatively quiet and undeveloped. There are no large resorts, casinos, night clubs, or crowds of tourists. Instead, the island is a hidden gem with friendly people, little to no crime, beautiful national parks, and a laid-back atmosphere. Getting to St. Eustatius is easy. There are several direct flights into St. Maarten (airport code SXM) from US and European cities. From St. Maarten, take a short 18-minute flight to St. Eustatius (airport code EUX) with Winair.

The Naval History & Heritage Command (NHHC) Underwater Archaeology Branch (UA) requires a wooden scale model of the remaining timbers and planks from the wreck of Revolutionary War-era schooner Royal
Savage. The wreck remains have been 2D documented, 3D scanned, and virtually reassembled by NHHC-UA. The next step is a physical scaled wooden model of the wreck timbers. The wreck model will be used to confirm
and solidify the virtual reassembly, develop a plan to reassemble the actual conserved wreck timbers for exhibit, and, since little to no information survived about the construction of the ship, the model will add to the historical
record and understanding of naval shipbuilding of the era.

In addition to supporting the UA mission to study, preserve, and protect the Navy’s shipwrecks, the model supports the broader NHHC initiative to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War and the founding of the U.S. Navy in 2026.

If funding is available in later fiscal years, a second objective is to develop and build a scaled wooden reconstruction model of the schooner as it was during the Revolutionary War.

This will be used for exhibit, archeological research and interpretation, outreach, and education.

The Fellow will follow DPAA guidance on naming conventions, database fields, and best practices in order to ensure that research procedures and protocols conform to those used by the DPAA, and the Department of Defense (DOD) generally.

The Fellow will report directly to the DPAA under the supervision of Dr. Mark Moline, who will serve as the project liaison to both the University and DPAA. The Fellow will not have any mandatory teaching or grading responsibilities but will be encouraged to teach one course per year related to job responsibilities. The Fellow will engage with external entities and outreach activities as approved by the DPAA.

Qualifications:

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in underwater archelogy, geography, history, oceanography, or a closely related field, with demonstrated strengths in analysis of sonar data, geographic information systems, and/or database management.
