The museums in Thyborøn today include both Sea War Museum Jutland and the new museum center Havets Hemmeligheder with several exhibitions and theme universes under the same roof.

• Tours and communication

• Operation and development of museum shop and ticket sales

• Coordination of events and activities

• Updating the website and social media

• Practical administration and financial follow-up

• Contribute to the development of new exhibitions and experiences

Who are you?

We imagine that you:

• is structured and actionable

• thrive in an environment with many different tasks

• is good for people and relationships

• can create engagement among volunteers and employees

• has an eye for guest experiences and development

• think possibilities rather than limitations

You don’t have to be a historian or a museum graduate.

Experience from, for example:

• experience economy

• turisme

• kultur

• event

• detail

• management

• administration

can be at least as relevant.

The most important thing is that you want to take responsibility and contribute to the development of something really special.

We offer

• A very independent and versatile position

• Opportunity to make your own mark on development

• An unconventional and passionate environment

• A strong community of volunteers

• A workplace with short decision paths and big ambitions

The Call for Papers for the SHA 2027 Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology is now open

Posted On: 05/01/2026

Dear SHA Members,

The Call for Papers for the SHA 2027 Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology, January 6-9, 2027 in Austin, Texas is now available for download on the SHA website at https://sha.org/2027-conference-austin-texas/. Please review the information in the call for papers and then follow the link on the Conference web page to submit abstracts for symposiums, forums/panels, or individual papers and posters.

The conference theme, Reflection on the Power of Place, invites you to consider how locations both create and conversely are shaped by culture. Through various forms of storytelling, collective action, and events, places can become powerful expressions of identity. In exploring this theme, we recognize that our inquiries are deeply rooted in the unique and diverse histories and identities of the places we study. The vast region that we today call Texas has served as a powerful anchor to Indigenous communities’ cultural and spiritual practices for millennia. Communities such as the Alabama-Coushatta, Caddo, Carrizo/Comecrudo, Coahuiltecan, Comanche, Karankawa, Kickapoo, Lipan Apache, Tonkawa, and Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo have and continue to define its cultural landscape.

Beyond that, Texas has seen many flags shape and reshape its culture and history. Between the Spanish and French Empires, the Mexican and Texas Republics, the United States, and the Confederacy, the geographic region that is Texas has long served as a backdrop through which global history has played out. Texas’ sense of place is embodied through its symbolism, architecture, and iconic landscapes. Its material record reflects the place-bound stories of those who experienced, responded to, and negotiated life within its boundaries.

The year 2027 marks the 60th anniversary of the SHA annual conference, an event that was born deep in the heart of Texas. Texas has played a role in some important firsts in the society’s history: the first annual conference was held at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas in 1967. The organizing committee is excited to host the SHA conference back where it all began in Texas, and we look forward to reflecting on the influence that Austin and the state of Texas have on the future of archaeological praxis.

The Call for Papers will close on June 30, 2026. If you need assistance with submitting your abstract for the 2027 Conference, please contact the SHA Austin Committee at shaAustin2027@gmail.com or the SHA office at hq@sha.org.

We look forward to seeing you in Austin for the 2027 Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology!

The SHA 2027 Conference Committee

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.

The intended start date for this fellowship is on or before June 1, 2026

This is a full-time, salary-exempt position with a salary of $55,000; applicants must be able to work in the United States. No phone calls, please – only applicants being considered for interviews will be contacted.

Requirements

Knowledge, Skills, Abilities:

Designing experiments, evaluating results as well as writing reports and peer-reviewed publications.
Experience with microscopy, specifically Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy.
Experience with chromatography and other separation techniques.
Familiarity with analytical equipment and methodology specific to conservation science.

Maritime Archaeology Advisor

Flevoland is the largest shipwreck cemetery in the world and these wrecks are an important spearhead within our provincial Heritage Programme.

As a maritime archaeology consultant, you will be committed to the preservation and visibility of Flevoland’s rich maritime history.

You don’t see such a unique feature every day, click on the link and read on!

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4395359260/

Do you want to contribute to protecting and enhancing the unique maritime archaeological values of Flevoland? And do you enjoy collaborating with diverse stakeholders within the framework of the Environment and Planning Act (Omgevingswet)? Then this is your chance to make an impact.

Your New Workplace

You will be part of the Culture Expertise Team. You work proactively on spatial and economic developments within Flevoland. Our mission is to ‘create space for a future-proof Flevoland—a place where it is good to live, work, and recreate.’ In this context, culture holds great and unifying value—naturally in an artistic and substantive sense, but also socially, economically, and spatially. To give substance to this, the Province formulates and implements culture and heritage policy. The guiding principle in this endeavor is the unique ‘Story of Flevoland.’ You can find more information about this policy here: Erfgoed van de Toekomst (Heritage of the Future) – Flevoland Heritage Program (https://www.flevoland.nl/getmedia/2946278e-370e-4ed2-8b42-9169b417a91f/Erfgoedprogramma-dv.pdf).

Through the Erfgoed van de Toekomst Heritage Program, the Province aims to preserve Flevoland’s heritage, promote it, and connect it with the future. In this way, our heritage—much like our province itself—remains in a constant state of evolution. In Flevoland, we achieve this together: in collaboration with cultural institutions, the heritage network, municipalities, and residents.

Here, You Make It Happen

Flevoland is home to the largest shipwreck graveyard in the world, and these wrecks constitute a key priority within our provincial Heritage Program. As an Advisor on Maritime Archaeology, you will dedicate yourself to the preservation and visibility of Flevoland’s rich maritime history. You will be working on a protection plan for the shipwrecks located beneath the soil of our province.

Subsidence and fluctuating groundwater levels—driven by climate change—pose a significant threat to the shipwrecks in Flevoland. Assessments have revealed that a number of these shipwrecks are in a very poor state of preservation. The recent dry summers have made it all the more urgent to develop a protection program for these shipwrecks; such a program will provide the necessary insight to determine which wrecks can be preserved in situ, for which wrecks that option is no longer viable, and what specific actions must be taken in each case. A key component of this protection program involves sharing the stories behind these wrecks and actively engaging the public in the research process. As a specialist in your field, you will serve as an advisor on maritime archaeology. Together with your team, you will work to bring Flevoland’s rich heritage even more prominently into the spotlight.

Your Responsibilities Will Include:

Contributing to the implementation of the provincial Heritage Program, with a specific focus on shipwrecks;
Conducting desk-based research to consolidate existing knowledge regarding the shipwrecks;
Developing a comprehensive protection plan for the shipwrecks buried beneath Flevoland’s soil, including an implementation schedule and budget;
Supervising monitoring and degradation studies to assess the condition of the wrecks;
Developing a public engagement plan as an integral part of the shipwreck protection strategy;
Coordinating activities and projects related to the shipwrecks;
Initiating protective measures, such as the reburial (in-situ encapsulation) of vulnerable wrecks;
Serving as the primary point of contact for both internal and external stakeholders regarding this subject area;

Salary and Benefits

We offer you the scope to truly make a difference. You will be working on plans that do not merely gather dust in a drawer, but are instead brought to life and made visible in the real world. From initial concept to concrete execution. This is the place where ideas are encouraged to flourish: if it’s possible anywhere, it’s possible here! And this is reflected in what we offer you:

A salary ranging from a minimum of €4,402.95 to a maximum of €6,213.95 (based on a 36-hour workweek), commensurate with your experience and educational background.
An initial one-year project contract; if the collaboration feels right for both parties, we can extend it for another six months.
An Individual Choice Budget (IKB) of 22.37%.
Flexibility in your working hours: hybrid working, the option to accrue extra leave days, or the chance to purchase additional vacation days? The choice is yours.
A pension scheme with ABP, ensuring you are well-prepared for the future.
Your choice of a Windows laptop or a MacBook—plus an iPhone.
Travel options that suit you best: using an NS Business Card or receiving a mileage allowance (€0.23 per km).
A training budget of €6,000 (valid for 5 years) to support your continued learning, discovery, and professional growth.
A workspace located just a two-minute walk from Lelystad Station.
Fresh fruit available every day, plus an on-site gym right at the office.

What kind of doer are you?

In everything you do, you consider how you can make a difference for Flevoland. As a natural networker, you actively seek out collaboration and build bridges—both within and outside the organization. As a creator, you transform ideas into tangible realities, working closely with stakeholders from the region. And as an accelerator, you identify what needs to be done, take the initiative, and—with boundless energy—truly set things in motion. To empower your talent…

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.

An International Conference on the First Americans October 14-17, 2026 Santa Fe Convention Center, Santa Fe, New Mexico

The Center for the Study of the First Americans invites you to participate in a three-day examination of the first people to explore and settle the Americas at the end of the last Ice Age. This conference is for everyone—archaeologists, avocational archaeologists, Quaternary scientists, students, and anyone interested in archaeology.

Much new information has been generated about the peopling of the Americas since the 2013 Paleoamerican Odyssey conference that is changing how we view the First Americans. The archaeological genetic revolution took place after 2013 with genomic analysis of human individuals and their dogs creating a biological outline of the ancestry of the First Americans and estimates for their arrival south of the Ice Sheets. New information has been generated about the coastal and inland corridors which more clearly define the timing of their opening and viability. The Western Stemmed Tradition of the Intermountain West now appears to be coeval with Clovis. Many new archaeological sites have been excavated in the Americas placing the arrival of humans between 23,000 and 16,000 years ago. New dating and other studies also tells us much about the timing and cause for the extinction of megafauna at the end of the Pleistocene and the role of humans in this event.

Come and hear 34 lectures given by preeminent scholars on all aspects of the study of the First Americans—the genetic history of the first Americans and their dogs, the earliest archaeological sites in Beringia, North America, Central America, and South America, the routes people took through and around the Ice Sheets covering Canada and more. Also, examine 400 poster presentations on a variety of topics and view displays of artifact casts from important sites.

There will be opportunities to ask questions, meet, and discuss the First Americans with the speakers, poster presenters, and others throughout the day and during our evening meet and greet sessions.

This will be the largest gathering of First Americans researchers since Paleoamerican Odyssey 2013!
