Specifically, the Maritime Archaeologist will be responsible for assisting with the sanctuary designation process in the Eastern Region.

Three of those designations are located in the ONMS Eastern Region: Hudson Canyon National Marine Sanctuary, Lake Erie Quadrangle National Marine Sanctuary, and Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary. This designation effort supports President Biden’s America the Beautiful initiative by expanding the National Marine Sanctuary System, addressing inequitable access to the outdoors and supporting locally led conservation.

This is currently offered as a two-year term position. Position may be extended based on continued availability of funding. The Maritime Archaeologist supports the scope of a federal cooperative agreement award between the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries that focuses on public engagement in the designation process of new national marine sanctuaries.

  • Work on development of maritime and cultural heritage protection, education, outreach, and research programs. Develop outreach products and policy documents.

Two (2) PhD fellowships/scholarships at Graduate School of Natural Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Geoscience programme

Drowned Paleolandscapes – a geological record for assessing landscape and environment response to postglacial sea level rise and climate change

Applications are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School of Natural Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Geoscience programme. The position is available from August 2024 or later.

Title:
Drowned Paleolandscapes – a geological record for assessing landscape and environment response to postglacial sea level rise and climate change

Research area and project description:
andidates are invited to apply for a PhD fellowship focused on submerged paleolandscape analysis primarily by means of marine geophysical data and sediment cores. The call is for two PhD positions.

The successful candidate will be part of a newly established research group working to assess and quantify the preservation degree of drowned paleolandscapes and the response of low-topography landscapes and environments to rising sea level. More broadly, the project aims to utilize the geological archives of the eastern North Sea Basin to grow our basic understanding and reference framework for how low-topography landscapes and environments respond to rising sea level and climate change over longer time scales.

The two PhD candidates will be working closely together and will be an integrated part of the research group. They will focus on establishing a Drowned Paleolandscape Atlas, describing the geophysical characteristics of specific preserved landscape types and linking seismic morphologies to various paleoenvironments. The project also involves possibilities of numerical modeling approaches including machine learning.

The results from the project will provide information on the geological processes that are prevalent during flooding and sea-level rise. Such information is relevant for future climate mitigation and adaptions, and for a sustainable use of the coastal zones. Additional impact may relate to offshore windfarm constructions and geo-archaeology.

The project involves close collaboration with research and industry partners both nationally and internationally; – including universities and research institutions in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. The two PhD projects will preferably include a research visit to one of the collaborating institutions.

The research project and the two PhD positions are funded by the Carlsberg Foundation.

For technical reasons, you must upload a project description. When – as here – you apply for a specific project, please simply copy the project description above, and upload it as a PDF in the application. If you wish to, you can indicate an URL where further information can be found.

Qualifications and specific competences:

In addition, the candidate will have demonstrated analytical skills, a good command of English, excellent interpersonal skills, an open attitude to interdisciplinary research, and the ability to work in international collaborations. Previous experience with seismic and acoustic data and sediment cores, software for seismic interpretation and processing, and integrative approaches for combining geophysical, geotechnical, and geological data is highly desired.

Place of employment and place of work:
The place of employment is Aarhus University, and the place of work is Høegh-Guldbergs Gade 2, DK-8000, and the area of employment is Aarhus University with related departments.
