The Science Communication Fellowship immerses educators in the Nautilus team as communicators for exploration and empowers them to bring the excitement of ocean exploration – specifically in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) – to students and public audiences around the world. Fellows share accounts of ocean research, expedition operations, STEAM careers, and daily life with audiences of all ages through live audio commentary on the Nautilus Live website and through outreach to classrooms and communities via ship-to-shore live interactions.

We use the term educator with a broad definition. Applicants can include formal or informal educators at all levels including – public or private school K-12 teachers, community or youth-service non-profit educators, museum or aquarium interpreters, traditional storytellers, writers, artists, etc. Educators of any discipline may apply. Consider how you would use participation in this program to share career role modeling and ocean exploration experiences with students and/or the broader community.

The Science Communication Fellowship is a professional development program that includes: 

  • experience sailing 3-5 weeks as part of the exploration team onboard a deep sea oceanographic expedition;
  • participation in a Nautilus science communication expedition forum in the spring;
  • paid travel to/from the expedition and the training workshop + substitute or stipend support at sea + a stipend for community or classroom STEAM outreach;
  • a year-long commitment to collaborate with the OET team, STEAM education professionals, research scientists, and educator Fellows within the cohort;
  • development of a STEAM-lesson or outreach material deliverable for your education audience; and
  • the agreement to serve as a role model for learners based on your Nautilus experience and engage students, organizations, and communities in the excitement of ocean exploration and STEAM.

“It has truly been life-changing…Thanks for deepening my view of the world and inspiring me to approach complicated topics in order to become a better communicator.”

OET is committed to including and amplifying role models from all backgrounds. We encourage a broad pool of applicants, particularly educators from under-resourced schools and those who engage learners and communities near our expedition locations. 

The Ocean Exploration Trust’s Science Communication Fellowship aims to provide educators with training and immersive at-sea experiences in science communication and ocean exploration. Sailing with Ocean Exploration Trust offers participants the opportunity to deepen their understanding of how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics apply to real-world situations and to engage their classrooms, organizations, and local communities in ocean exploration.

Palau Study Abroad – Winter 2026

Greetings!

I am excited to announce that my research group and I will be taking 14 lucky students with us to the tropical Republic of Palau next Winter, January 2026. As part of UD Study Abroad, we will travel to exotic Palau to search for U.S. aircraft lost in World War II that are associated with service members missing-in-action.  I have been traveling to Palau since 2010, and it is an amazing place–this experience will be truly life changing for any student. I have attached a flyer with additional information.

In this course, students are intimately involved in every aspect of our rewarding work. Alongside an interdisciplinary team (marine biologists, historian, archaeologist, engineer, oceanographer and computer scientist), students will:

•             Map the seafloor with cutting-edge ocean technology;

•             Explore the historical records of this part of the world;

•             Participate in documentation of an archaeological site;

•             Map coral reef communities;

•             Work with large environmental databases;

DOCTORAL OPPORTUNITY ALERT

https://www.port.ac.uk/study/postgraduate-research/research-degrees/phd/explore-our-projects/from-sail-to-steam-carbon-to-green-empowering-port-communities-in-the-global-south-sar-macau

Applications are invited for a fully-funded three year PhD, with opportunities for a visiting scholarship in Macau, to commence in October 2025.  

The Centre for Port Cities and Maritime Cultures (PCMC) is thrilled to announce an opportunity for doctoral research in the field of humanities and social science with a PhD Studentship with the ‘Sail to Steam, Carbon to Green: Empowering Port Communities in the Global South’ project.

The overarching theme of ‘Sail to Steam, Carbon to Green’ is to seek to understand the role of local knowledge and the impact of sail to steam shipping on communities and the infrastructure of international sea ports in the Global South. This will be underpinned by four PhD studies which will provide rigorous scholarly research for comparative analysis of the heritage and attitudes of people in the Global South in regard to maritime technological change and its consequences. The advertised PhD programme will focus on the port city of Macau (SAR China).

The PhD will be based in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and will be supervised by the project leaders Dr Melanie Bassett, Dr Rudolph Ng and Professor Brad Beaven. 

This doctoral-level research programme will consist of a cross-disciplinary study combining historical research and social scientific data collection. Each study will set the context for an identified port city throughout the period of sail to steam energy transition, and also measure its effects and impacts on the communities and cultures which have remained or have grown from the creation of global port cities. The project focuses on the past, present and future importance of urban-maritime cultures and communities within a global context, which align with the key research themes of PCMC. Working with academics, creative practitioners, funders and local community groups, the project will explore the relationships between urban and maritime spaces and seek to bring in local voices.

This exciting opportunity covers tuition fees and includes an annual stipend at the UKRI rate,  a generous travel allowance for the student to conduct national and international research, and a ‘community engagement fund’ to enable the student to co-produce impactful responses to the historical research and current challenges associated with energy transition.

The PhD is funded by Lloyd’s Register Foundation (LRF) and supported by the University of Portsmouth’s Centre for Port Cities and Maritime Culture in the School of Area Studies, History, Politics and Literature. The visiting scholarship is supported by the University of Macau who will host the student as a visiting scholar. Additional research and dissemination support is offered by the Macau Maritime Museum.

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.
