Job advertisement: Doctoral Researcher (f/m/diverse) POESIS Submerged Dependencies

https://www.idos-research.de/stellen-praktika/job-advertisment-doctoral-researcher-poesis-submerged-dependencies/

The doctoral position is embedded in the BCDSS-funded collaborative research group with IDOS, Power, Knowledge and Servitude at Sea (POESIS). POESIS turns to maritime and littoral worlds to trace the asymmetric dependencies that land-centred accounts often obscure, asking how power takes shape through epistemic hierarchies, labour regimes, and more-than-human relations, and how these formations are navigated and contested in everyday life.

Based in Work Package 3: “Submerged Dependencies,” this PhD project explores environments below the waterline as sites where biodiversity conservation, cultural heritage management, and security regimes converge. It invites proposals that examine how heritage governance, conservation, and security reshape access, custodianship, and the very definition of biocultural heritage under particular conditions. Projects may focus on marine protected areas, UNESCO biosphere reserves, and other submerged zones, particularly where these intersect with militarised spaces and extractive frontiers.

Applications from all geographical regions are welcome. We encourage historically grounded, methodologically diverse projects combining ethnographic practices with multimodal approaches such as participatory (counter)mapping, art-based collaboration, archival research, oral history, and policy analysis. Proposals that connect contemporary struggles over security and marine governance to longer histories of empire and developmentalism, while engaging debates on restitution, climate reparations, biodiversity, and/or custodianship, are especially welcome.

We invite candidates who aspire to combine the acquisition of professional experience with the preparation of a PhD dissertation in the context of the BCDSS-IDOS joint partnership programme. In its semi-structured PhD programme, IDOS combines a focus on research with policy advice and offers a blend of: a) group mentoring and training activities, b) self-organized peer mentoring among the PhD group, and c) one-on-one mentoring with the PhD supervisors and mentors. The programme ensures excellent working conditions for the successful and timely completion of the PhD studies, as well as an effective combination of project and dissertation work. This four-year doctoral position includes integration into the BCDSS Doctoral Programme comprising regular research workshops with internationally recognised scholars, participation in international conferences, support for fieldwork and research stays, academic coursework, additional skills training, and close supervision throughout the dissertation period.

The PhD will be awarded by the University of Bonn’s Department of Sociology and is open to interdisciplinary work spanning the critical humanities and social sciences. The doctoral project will be co-supervised by Dr. Rapti Siriwardane-de Zoysa and Prof. Dr. Anna-Katharina Hornidge and can be pursued either as a monograph or as a cumulative dissertation based on three or more peer-reviewed journal articles.

If you have obtained a foreign university degree, please attach the database excerpt from Anabin to your application documents as proof of recognition of the degree by the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB) of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK).

Conservation Science Fellow: The Mariners’ Museum and Park

https://recruiting.paylocity.com/Recruiting/Jobs/Details/4035231

Description

We are seeking a full-time Conservation Science Fellow to conduct research focused on electron microscopy and column chromatography. This two-year, grant-funded position is supported by an IMLS Leadership Grant for Museums. The successful candidate will join our growing conservation research program, located in the state-of-the-art, 20,000-square-foot Batten Conservation Complex. For more details about the laboratory’s equipment, research, and publications, please visit the link below.

The Mariners’ Museum and Park – Conservation Science Research

Project Details: 

The primary focus of this fellowship is to contribute to fundamental research and help improve the treatment of waterlogged organic artifacts such as those recovered from wooden shipwrecks. During burial, historical ships spend centuries submerged in a marine environment often surrounded by sulfur-reducing bacteria. Over time, these organisms produce hydrogen sulfide which reacts with the organic materials onsite, forming compounds which can severely damage wooden artifacts after they are dried. Therefore, extracting sulfur compounds from wood prior to drying is critical to help mitigate the potential for long-term debilitating issues. Through previous research funding from a National Center for Preservation Technology and Training grant in 2023, initial background research and preliminary sulfur extraction tests via chromatography on cellulose coupons were conducted with promising results.

To build off and expand this foundational work, this fellowship is centered on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and column chromatography of sulfur containing compounds in organic matrices. The fellow will work with the Assistant Research Scientist under the direct supervision of the Research Scientist and Senior Archaeological Conservator who are overseen by the Director of Conservation and Chief Conservator.

Application:

In addition to a cover letter and CV, candidates must include at least one reference letter from a scientist familiar with your work experience.

AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnership studentship: Uncharted Voices

Learn more about and apply for this fully funded collaborative doctoral studentship starting in October 2026

Uncharted Voices: Subaltern Cultures and Identities in Global Seafaring, 1880–1950

An AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) studentship with Royal Museums Greenwich and University of Portsmouth

About the project

Applications are invited for a fully-funded four-year PhD to commence on 1 October 2026.

The National Maritime Museum, part of the REACH CDP Consortium, and the University of Portsmouth are pleased to announce the availability of a fully funded collaborative doctoral studentship from October 2026 under the AHRC’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships (CDP) scheme.

This project will be jointly supervised by Lucy Dale and Dr Hannah Stockton from the National Maritime Museum and Professor Brad Beaven and Dr Karl Bell from the University of Portsmouth. The student will be expected to spend time at both the University of Portsmouth and the National Maritime Museum, as well as becoming part of the wider cohort of CDP-funded students across the UK.

CDP doctoral training grants fund full-time studentships for four years or part-time equivalent up to a maximum of eight years.

This PhD proposes a critical investigation of the Campbell McMurray Collection (CMC), a remarkable but unexplored oral history collection housed at Royal Museums Greenwich. Comprising around 500 digitised tapes, the collection captures personal narratives of (primarily British) merchant seamen from the 1890s to the 1950s. Through a thematic analysis of these testimonies, this research will recover hidden maritime voices and explore the complex ways in which seafarers navigated their identities, family relations, cultural interactions, occupational knowledge, and working-class affiliations across maritime and urban domains.

As transient workers, seafarers embodied the migration of people, objects and ideas between distant ports, while navigating their own marginalised positions within imperial and postcolonial worlds. By foregrounding voices from the CMC, some of which belong to migrant, and working-class men, this research addresses the theme of diverse and hidden histories. Integrating analysis of family relations further uncovers emotional and domestic dimensions of global labour histories.

Through collaboration with the National Maritime Museum’s public history initiatives, the project will also contribute to interpreting this archive for broader audiences, enhancing heritage narratives and public engagement. The CMC represents a rich but under-researched source of information about maritime intangible heritage, especially regarding mariners’ cultural practices at sea.

The successful student will be expected to develop their own lines of enquiry and research approach to the project, but initial research questions might include:

  • In what ways did merchant seafarers articulate their sense of identity across maritime and urban domains?
  • How did seafarers manage family relationships while navigating between maritime and urban lives?
  • What sort of traditions and cultural practices at sea did seafarers engage in?
  • To what extent were seafarers integrated into or excluded from working-class communities ashore?

The work on this project could involve:

  • Professional immersion: The student will gain direct experience in the cultural and heritage sector through a collaborative partnership, spending time at both lead organisations.
  • On-site research and training: The role includes four years of embedded training and career development, primarily based at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
  • International recognition: Benefit from the Centre of Port Cities and Cultures’ wealth of knowledge and international networks while simultaneously showcasing cutting-edge research.
  • Flexible engagement: While the project allows for remote work, the student is encouraged to regularly collaborate on-site with the National Maritime Museum curatorial team to conduct oral history and archival research.

Individual Consultant (Ocean Literacy)

https://careers.unesco.org/job/Bangkok-Individual-Consultant-%28Ocean-Literacy%29/1351696257/

Objective of this assignment

Ocean Literacy refers to “an understanding of the ocean’s influence on humanity and humanity’s influence on the ocean”. Ocean literacy is not only about increasing public awareness, but also about equipping citizens and stakeholders with the knowledge and motivation to make responsible and informed decisions towards the ocean and its resources.

Ocean literacy is essential for advancing sustainable ocean governance and achieving the goal of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030). It is especially crucial for the countries in the Western Pacific, characterized by rich marine biodiversity, diverse cultural-socio-economic contexts, and high vulnerability to climate change.

Journalists and media professionals, as key intermediaries between ocean and society, play a critical role in raising awareness, shaping public discourse, and driving collective actions through accurate and informed reporting. Recognizing the limited level of ocean literacy of journalists and media professionals in the Western Pacific, the IOC Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific, with the support of the Japanese Funds-in-Trust (JFIT), initiated the “Ocean Literacy for Journalists in the Southeast Asia” pilot project, aiming to enhance the ocean literacy of journalists and media professionals in four pilot countries in the Southeast Asia – Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines, by improving their understanding of ocean and ocean science, fostering collaborative networks between journalists/media groups and ocean experts/institutions, promoting regionally and locally relevant ocean narratives.

As an initial step, this assignment is to conduct a comprehensive scoping assessment in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines to identify target media groups and potential partners at national level, assess key ocean literacy gaps and capacity development needs, review existing ocean literacy tools and methods, and formulate priority activities. The findings generated through this assignment will provide the analytical foundation for the implementation of the “Ocean Literacy for Journalists in the Southeast Asia” project.
