Why join us? 

Bringing together leading minds and practitioners in the sector, Wessex Archaeology is a trusted archaeology and heritage service provider and educational charity, and a market leader in the provision of geoarchaeological services across terrestrial, intertidal and marine environments. From our network of international offices, we work in partnership with our clients to deliver sustainable solutions to manage the historic environment – above ground, below ground and underwater. We are committed to our social impact. This means using the knowledge and connections we make through our commercial activities as a catalyst to engage the communities in which we work.

Join us and you’ll be part of a collaborative team committed to shaping a better future for our staff, the sector, and the world. As well as having knowledgeable and dedicated colleagues, you’ll have an opportunity to access a variety of fascinating and high-profile projects and develop your skills and knowledge along the way.

The role – what’s involved? 

We are looking for talented, driven and enthusiastic individuals at all grades with a desire to share and learn new skills and further develop the capacity of our established geoarchaeology team.

Geoarchaeology refers to the archaeological resource contained within geological deposits. This can include archaeology (often deeply buried artefacts and layers) and environmental remains. Assessing and interpreting these requires a collaborative and multi-disciplinary approach, combining archaeological, geological, geophysical and palaeoenvironmental techniques. Our team comprises geoarchaeologists at all stages of their career, including specialists of international standing in marine, Pleistocene/Palaeolithic and Holocene geoarchaeology. Our team comes from a variety of backgrounds in archaeology, geoarchaeology and Quaternary science, and has varied skills and specialisms, from stone tool identification through to pollen analysis. 

Due to continuing levels of demand for our specialist services, we are looking for talented, driven and enthusiastic individuals to join our established team at all grades with a desire to share and learn new skills, and further develop the capabilities and capacity of the Geoarchaeology team as part of the Commercial Services Directorate.

We are particularly keen to appoint a candidate at senior/principal level with demonstrable experience in Palaeolithic archaeology and Pleistocene stratigraphy. Investigation of Pleistocene deposits with potential for Palaeolithic archaeology forms a key element of our portfolio and we are keen to expand our specialist offering in this area.

We are also keen to hear from geoarchaeologists already working in commercial archaeology or closely related disciplines. You may be an archaeologist who has some experience of geoarchaeology, has a willingness to learn and a desire to develop a career path in geoarchaeology. We are also interested in recent graduates or postgraduates in relevant subjects who want to start their career in geoarchaeology.

You will have the opportunity to work on a range of projects, including Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects connected to renewable and energy infrastructure, water supply, flood alleviation and coastal defence, and peatland restoration. Our works involve the monitoring of ground investigations (trial pits and boreholes), standalone geoarchaeological borehole surveys and test pitting, as well as other intrusive works alongside colleagues in archaeological fieldwork, consultancy, and marine services. Work will also involve the laboratory-based description, interpretation and sub-sampling of borehole and monolith sequences. 

Successful candidates will contribute to and lead on interpretation and reporting, including input into desk-based assessment, deposit modelling and fieldwork, and post-excavation assessment/analysis reports. Existing experience in post-excavation geoarchaeological techniques, such as deposit modelling, is not essential as opportunities will be provided to build expertise in this area through individual training and mentorship. Candidates should have a solid practical and technical skillset together with good reporting and communication skills.

VLIZ recruits: Researcher offshore palaeolandscape exploration

https://www.vliz.be/en/jobs/vliz-recruits-researcher-offshore-palaeolandscape-exploration

The southwestern area of the North Sea contains the remains of a vast landmass that connected continental Europe with the British Isles during periods of sea-level lowstands. Usually referred to as “Doggerland”, the area would have been a heartland of human occupation and central to the process of re-settlement and colonisation of northwestern Europe during the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods. 

Global warming at the end of the last Ice Age led to the inundation of these lost lands. Today, the North Sea holds a unique and largely unexplored record of prehistoric settlement and colonization. Access to this archaeological resource is hampered by deep water and thick modern 
sediments. Whilst archaeological evidence has been recovered, it consists largely of ex-situ chance finds, with limited potential for understanding human settlement within the wider landscape. 

Within the SUBNORDICA project, and in close collaboration with colleagues from the UK (University of Bradford) and The Netherlands (TNO), VLIZ will assist in reconstructing the palaeolandscapes of the southern North Sea at a variety of geographical and temporal scales, using existing and newly acquired geophysical and geomorphological datasets. This will provide key input for the partners involved in predictive and behavioural modelling and AI training sets in order to classify areas with archaeological potential and to assess their accessibility for investigation. 

The main task of VLIZ in the SUBNORDICA project concerns the analysis of existing offshore data (including commercial (oil/gas, windfarm) data), the collection and analysis of new geophysical and sedimentological data in the southern North Sea, and mapping of the top-Pleistocene (noneroded) surface and its attributes. 

OUR OFFER  

  • We offer you a challenging job in the dynamic environment of the InnovOcean Campus in  Ostend. 
  • A contract for 3 years, with the possibility of extension, and a competitive remuneration package based on the candidate’s qualifications and experience according to the salary scales set forth by the Flemish Government on 01-01-2009. 
  • Additional benefits: holiday allowance, end of year allowance, meal vouchers (€8 per day worked), bicycle allowance, free public transport between home and work. 
  • A good work-life balance through a generous leave package and flexible working hours within a 38-hour working week. 
  • The possibility to work partly from home (meaning from your legal home address in Belgium) after an induction period. 
  • Opportunities for personal development (training). 

YOUR TASKS 

  • To work out an optimal approach/workflow for the interpretation of geophysical data and mapping of the (non-eroded) top Pleistocene surface, including characterization of its attributes; 
  • To collate and analyze existing (legacy) geophysical and geological data; 
  • To process, interpret and visualize new seismic and acoustic (2D) data; 
  • To plan, perform and develop strategies for the acquisition of data at sea; 
  • To assist with the collection, analysis and interpretation of sedimentological core data; 
  • To construct paleogeographic maps at different scales; 
  • To liaise with TNO for the access and analysis of Dutch survey data; 
  • To liaise with the University of Bradford for the access and analysis of UK (mega)survey data; 
  • To liaise with the University of Bradford and TNO for the input of data for (behavioural/predictive) modelling; 
  • To participate in meetings and interact with SUBNORDICA partners; 
  • To provide general support to the project including preparation of shiptime applications, (public) presentations, developing information for publication and media, and organization of consortium and stakeholder meetings; 
  • To actively participate in project meetings and provide project deliverables (e.g. reports); 

Your main responsabilities include: 

  • To maintain research output in the form of high-quality peer reviewed publications; 
  • To present research findings at public events and national and/or international scientific conferences; 
  • To provide support and assistance to other (VLIZ) staff members in the completion of duties and programs of work; 
  • To undertake the duties in such a way as to promote the project and enhance the reputation and public profile of VLIZ; 
  • To undertake any other relevant duties appropriate to the grade and nature of the post. 

For each function, VLIZ considers enthusiastic involvement, service minded, excellent professionalism and integrity as important characteristics.

Travelers of the Sea – Conference on Maritime History, Marine Archaeology and Ethnology

https://smhy.fi/en/activities/travellers-sea-conference

WELCOME TO THE TRAVELLERS OF THE SEA -CONFERENCE!

REGISTRATION IS OPEN: Registration form

Experience three cities and two countries during this travelling conference that will take place at the Maritime Centre Forum Marinum, Turku, House of Sciences and Letters in Helsinki, Finland and at the Estonian Maritime Museum in Tallinn, Estonia, on 11th–13th June 2026. It is organised by the Finnish Maritime History Association, the Finnish Maritime Archaeological Society, the Estonian Maritime Museum and the Maritime Centre Forum Marinum. As with the 12 earlier biannual Maritime History Days conferences, we aim to bring together scholars and students working on maritime history and related fields such as maritime archaeology, ethnology and maritime folklore.

The conference programme is now published and includes three keynote lectures, held by Dr. Kaori Nagai (Senior Lecturer in Victorian Literature, University of Kent), Dr. Mirja Arnshav (Research Coordinator, The National Maritime Museum, Stockholm), and Dr. Matteo Barbano (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow, University of Genoa). Please find the progamme and an introduction of our keynote speakers below.

The overall theme of the conference is travelling by sea, with no temporal or geographical limits and with a multispecies approach. Travelling by sea is probably as old as human society. Furthermore, non-human animals have always travelled across the seas voluntarily or otherwise. Sea travel has countless purposes: to explore the world, to make trade connections, to migrate, or to cruise. Sometimes the voyagers have been forced to escape from disasters or violent regimes. The Gulf of Finland, for instance, has connected Estonians and Finns for centuries, from the seprakauppa/sõbrakaubandus trade to our own time when the sea area between Tallinn and Helsinki is one of the busiest ferry routes in the world. The increased mobility by people and goods has also raised questions on the sustainability of sea travel. More on the conference themes and topics can be found in our CFP below.

We aim to promote interdisciplinary encounters and discussions, with the goal of bringing together scholars worldwide. The conference is intended for anyone working with topics somehow relating to the sea and maritime travel – previous experience with maritime history, maritime archaeology, or maritime ethnology specifically is not necessary. The bi-annual, peer-reviewed journal Nautica Fennica will be offering participants the possibility to submit their papers in the journal. The publishing decisions will be made by the Nautica Fennica editorial board. More on Nautica Fennica here: https://smhy.fi/en/activities/nautica-fennica. 

Programme: Programme_2026_Travellers.pdf

Keynote introductions: Travellers of the Sea_keynotes.pdf

CFP downloadable here: Call for Papers_Travellers_ 2026.pdf

Important:

  • Takes place on 11th–13th June 2026 
  • Registration is open until 2.5.2026. Please note that the bookings are non-refundable. 
  • The conference will be held in-person, and we cannot guarantee hybrid participation. Conference language is English apart from 11th June, when the new researchers’ meeting will be held in Finnish and Swedish. 

For any inquiries, please contact conference secretary Emilia Syväsalmi (talous[at]smhy.fi)

PhD Position in Automated Underwater Acoustic Inspection Methods

The proposed PhD thesis topic: “Acoustic Non-Destructive Evaluation for Marine Archaeology and Submerged Infrastructure” 

https://academicpositions.com/ad/tallinn-university-of-technology/2026/phd-position-in-automated-underwater-acoustic-inspection-methods/243092

More than a thousand shipwrecks are known in the Baltic Sea, many of which still contain fuel, oil, or hazardous cargo. These wrecks continue to degrade over time due to progressive corrosion, yet their structural condition is often unknown. Regular inspection is severely constrained: visibility underwater is poor, manual diver-based surveys are costly, dangerous, and rarely feasible at depth. As a result, most wrecks are assessed only sporadically, and often only after environmental leakage becomes visible at the sea surface.

This doctoral project develops automated underwater acoustic inspection methods that enable non-contact characterization of submerged metallic structures using ultrasonic guided waves and acoustic arrays. The research focuses on extracting structural information from wavefields measured in water, with particular attention to corrosion detection and identification of internal liquid presence within wreck compartments. While shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea form the primary application scenario, the developed techniques are inherently general and applicable to offshore structures, ship hulls, flooded constructions, and underwater civil infrastructure.

The impact of the project lies in providing a scientific basis for future autonomous inspection systems for underwater structures, improving early detection capability, reducing inspection risk and cost, and supporting evidence-based environmental monitoring.

Scientific Background and Motivation

Assessing the condition of underwater archaeological sites, shipwrecks, and submerged infrastructure remains difficult because traditional inspection methods are constrained by poor visibility, access limitations, and the high cost and risk of diver operations. Sonar provides geometric information but cannot quantify corrosion or detect internal liquids, while contact-based ultrasonic thickness measurements require direct access and are impractical for large or hazardous structures.

Acoustic non-destructive evaluation using guided ultrasonic waves offers the potential for remote, wide-area sensing. Guided waves are inherently sensitive to corrosion, thinning, and fluid loading; however, their underwater application is fundamentally challenging. When structures are submerged, wave propagation is strongly altered by fluid–structure interaction, leading to energy leakage, dispersion changes, and increased attenuation.

A major scientific gap is that no unified physical or computational framework exists for interpreting guided waves in the presence of heavy fluid loading and complex environmental scattering. Rough, corroded surfaces, variable sound-speed profiles, bubble clouds, biological noise, and reflections from the free surface all produce distorted and multi-path wavefields that current NDE algorithms—developed for dry or contact conditions—cannot reliably interpret.

This PhD project addresses this gap by developing a physically informed and experimentally validated methodology for acoustic NDE in underwater environments, with shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea serving as the primary application. The broader motivation is to enable automated, non-contact inspection tools that can support marine archaeology, environmental monitoring, and the maintenance of submerged infrastructure.

Research Questions, Hypothesis and Work Plan

The central scientific hypothesis is that guided wavefields measured in submerged metallic structures contain sufficient information to estimate structural condition and internal fluid presence, provided that wave propagation mechanisms and fluid–structure interaction are adequately modelled and the signal processing framework is physically informed.

The research begins with finite-element modelling of guided ultrasonic waves in corroded plates under water, with and without internal liquid loading. These models are used to identify observable quantities related to thickness loss, scattering strength, modal conversion, and attenuation.

Building upon the modelling results, the project develops signal processing and imaging techniques for wavefield interpretation. These include mode separation, frequency–wavenumber analysis, energy-based mapping, and inversion techniques that aim to reconstruct thickness distributions or classify internal loading conditions. The robustness of these methods is studied under realistic conditions including measurement noise, incomplete scans, and environmental variability.

Experimental work is carried out using submerged steel samples with representative defect geometries. Ultrasonic transducers and acoustic arrays are used to measure wavefields in water under controlled laboratory conditions, followed by tests using robotic platforms in field environments. Numerical predictions and experimental data are continuously compared to refine both the physical models and inference algorithms.

The final phase of the work focuses on shipwreck structures as representative complex targets. The developed framework is tested on real cases where accessible, ensuring that the methods are grounded in practical constraints while remaining general enough for application to other underwater engineering structures.

Applicants should fulfil the following requirements:

Applicants should hold an MSc degree in engineering, applied physics, acoustics, or a related discipline and should demonstrate strong interest in wave physics, acoustic sensing, and quantitative non-destructive evaluation.
