Ocean Exploration Trust Posts/Internships

http://www.oceanexplorationtrust.org/education

Inspired by the thousands of letters he received from students seeking an opportunity to join an expedition following his discovery of Titanic’s final resting place, Dr. Robert Ballard’s vision for the mission of the Ocean Exploration Trust was that it would increasingly connect exploratory expeditions beyond the scientific community and into classrooms and living rooms. His goal was, and continues to be, to encourage the next generation of explorers to follow educational pathways into the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) workforce.

Role modeling has been the keystone of OET’s educational and outreach program since its inception. Each year, members of the Corps of Exploration — which includes crew members, to students and lead scientists that sail aboard E/V Nautilus — come from academia, industry, schools, federal agencies, military, and nonprofits. As we highlight each member of the Corps aboard the vessel to global audiences, we aim to show that the breadth of vocations and pathways possible within STEM-related disciplines is vast. We also strive to ensure that the demographics of the Corps — specifically, representation of women and historically underrepresented minorities in STEM — reflects the diversity of the United States, allowing a greater number of children to recognize opportunities for themselves in these career pathways.

While emphasizing role modeling and mentoring, OET has developed a suite of programs over the last decade to engage educators and students of all ages through a multifaceted approach including: (1) outreach to inspire the online-public through 24/7 connectivity to explorers at sea; (2) immersive, hands-on opportunities for students and educators to participate in E/V Nautilus expeditions shoulder-to-shoulder with professionals in the field (3) professional development opportunities for educators on shore; and (4) ocean exploration-themed STEM curricular materials.

OET’s at-sea education programs for the 2020 Nautilus expedition season are open to individuals who hold a United States or Canadian passport or are eligible to obtain one upon program selection.  Participants must plan to live in the United States or Canada for the duration of the expedition season (June – December 2020).

Underwater Archaeology Fieldwork Report Awards

NEW: Anna Marguerite McCann Award for Fieldwork Reports

This new award is named for the late Dr. Anna Marguerite McCann, an internationally renowned scholar and author in the fields of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture. The first female American underwater archaeologist, Dr. McCann was a pioneer in underwater archaeology, specializing in the use of robotic technology to study ancient Roman harbors. Her many accomplishments in the field have previously been recognized by the AIA, most notably when she was awarded the James R. Wiseman Book Award in 1989 and later when she was presented with the AIA’s highest honor, the Gold Medal Award for Archaeological Achievement in 1998.

The SS United States Conservancy, a national nonprofit organization founded in 2004, is dedicated to protecting, revitalizing, and promoting the historic ocean liner SS United States, the largest passenger ship ever built in America and current holder of the transatlantic speed record. “America’s Flagship” transported four U.S. presidents, business moguls, movie stars, tourists, artists and authors, and immigrants, and the vessel is one of the sole surviving iconic ocean liners from the golden age of trans-Atlantic travel. The SS United States Conservancy purchased the SS United States in February of 2011 and is currently working to secure her future as a mixed-use, stationary development which will include a SS United States museum.

The Conservancy is moving full speed ahead on its goals of building its permanent collection of archives, art, and artifacts from the SS United States. Our dedicated staff is always diligently exploring how to best preserve, celebrate, and disseminate the range of items in the Conservancy’s collections through not only various social media platforms but also through unique opportunities and partnerships with museums, institutions, and other organizations. Guided by a prominent board of directors and advisory council, the Conservancy currently has a small team based in Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and New York. The organization has members hailing from all 50 states and 22 nations worldwide.
