2 weeks ago


Bangor, United Kingdom Bangor University Full time

Applications are invited for the above temporary (12-month FTE) full time post working in the Centre for Applied Marine Sciences (CAMS) based in the School of Ocean Sciences (SOS) in Menai Bridge, Anglesey.

Main duties will include identifying, accessing and collating maritime archives and marine scientific data sets associated with shipping losses in the Irish Sea to support the development of effective methodologies to identify individual shipwrecks. The role will additionally involve close collaboration with external project partners to develop innovative and effective mechanisms to link related maritime archives, marine data and museum related collections at a national and local level.

Committed to equal opportunities

Overview

The School of Ocean Sciences (SOS), located on the beautiful shores of the Isle of Anglesey, is a multidisciplinary department with a focus on continental shelf sciences and a strong history of international research excellence and collaboration. Core research interests include oceanography, marine biology and ecology, aquaculture & fisheries, geoscience, biogeochemistry and climate change science.

This position will be based in the Centre for Applied Marine Sciences (CAMS) - a state-of-the-art facility embedded within SOS that acts as a hub for cross-disciplinary research, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of marine science in the College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering.

The Centre for Applied Marine Sciences (CAMS) is an externally funded, outward-facing centre that links end users to marine and coastal research. CAMS has an extensive portfolio of applied research projects and a strong history of interaction with external partners across the UK and internationally.

The Project

‘Unpath’d Waters: Marine and Maritime Collections in the UK’ (UNPATH) is a 3-year, £3M Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded, multi-partner initiative led by Historic England (HE) involving seven UK universities, UK heritage agencies and numerous national and local museums, charitable trusts and marine consultants. The purpose of the project is to develop and test innovative methods to connect and promote disparate collections of marine data, archives, documents, artefacts and artworks associated with UK maritime history and make this available to existing and new audiences as well as developing and implementing new integrated management tools designed to protect our most significant heritage.

UNPATH consists of a number of separate, inter-related work packages of which, this role in WP3.2 ‘Science and the Sea’ led by Bangor University, is part. This aspect of the work is being undertaken in close collaboration with Ulster University (UU) and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments Wales (RCAHMW).

Purpose of the Job

The purpose of the project is to develop and test innovative methods to connect disparate collections of maritime related data, archives, documents, artifacts and artworks etc associated with UK maritime history.

The role holder will research and develop effective multi-proxy methodologies to identify unknown shipwrecks and refine/enhance levels of confidence associated with current inferred identities of shipwrecks in the Irish Sea by combining high-resolution Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) data with maritime archives and other relevant scientific and documentary evidence.

This specific UNPATH project work package additionally aims to incorporate this work within the broader WP3.2 aim of identifying, assessing, cataloguing and linking existing scientific data (geophysical, sedimentological, hydrodynamical and ecological), historical documents, maritime archives, artefacts and museum exhibits associated with a selection of historically important Irish Sea wreck sites. The post holder will be expected to play a leading role in developing this work through close collaboration/liaison with both UU and RCAHMW as well as other organisations associated with the UNPATH project across the UK.

The position will be based in the School of Ocean Sciences/Centre for Applied Marine Sciences in Menai Bridge and the successful appointee will operate under the direction of UNPATH WP3.2 P.I. Dr Michael Roberts.
