The MarEA Project (Maritime Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa) is a collaborative initiative led by the University of Southampton and Ulster University, in partnership with Oxford University. Our mission is to document and preserve the rich maritime archaeology of the coastal regions across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

We are seeking a motivated and skilled Researcher to join our team. In this role, you will contribute to the project’s success by conducting remote sensing research, collecting and analysing data across the MENA region, and supporting field surveys and training programs. This position will be based at the University of Southampton but will also require occasional travel to the MENA region.

Key responsibilities for the job are: 1) conduct research using remote sensing techniques and data collection methods across the MENA region, under the guidance of the project director; 2) Participate in ground surveys and contribute to training programs in selected countries within the project area; 3) Support the Principal Investigators (PIs) in achieving the project’s deliverables and advancing its objectives; 4) collaborate with an international team to ensure successful project outcomes.

Essential qualifications & skills we are looking for are: 1) extensive work experience in the MENA region; 2) proficiency in using GIS (Geographic Information Systems) for archaeological research; 3) strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks effectively and 4) excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, to engage with diverse stakeholders.

The role will be primarily office-based at the University of Southampton, but flexibility is required, as overseas travel to the MENA region may be necessary.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone passionate about maritime archaeology and eager to make a meaningful impact in preserving the region’s cultural heritage.

If you are a proactive researcher with interest in the MENA region's archaeology and the required technical skills, we encourage you to apply.

Apply by uploading your CV and a cover letter detailing how your skills and experience match the requirements of the role.

Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification.

Research Fellow in Smart Fibre Optic High-Power Photonics (HiPPo): Development of the Digital Fibre Laser

About HiPPo

Standard multi-kW fibre lasers are now routinely used in the most advanced production lines for cutting, welding, 3D printing, and marking of a myriad of materials from glass to steel. The ability to precisely control the properties of the laser beam and focus it on the workpiece makes high-power fibre lasers (HPFLs) indispensable to modern manufacturing. As we enter the Digital Manufacturing/Industry 4.0 era however, new challenges and opportunities for HPFLs are emerging.

The primary objective of the HiPPo project (Smart Fibre Optic High-Power Photonics, www.hippo-laser.co.uk) is to move beyond the “fixed” fibre lasers that are currently used in manufacturing, and towards “smart” fibre lasers that are automatically reconfigured and optimised in real-time depending on the application. This ambitious objective requires research breakthroughs across the spectrum of fibre laser development, from the development of new fibre core materials, to addressing limits imposed by SBS and TMI, to high-speed beam and polarisation shaping, to multi-channel kW level energy delivery, and finally using deep learning to solve the complexity challenge associated with coherent beam combination.

The role

Within HiPPo, your specific task will be to develop a ‘digital fibre laser’, through the neural-network control of a tiled array of fibre lasers in a coherent beam combination architecture, for unlocking novel power scaling and beam shaping capabilities in real-time. You will work at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (www.southampton.ac.uk/about/faculties-schools-departments/optoelectronics-research-centre) in a project team of eight PDRAs focused on delivering the next generation of HPFLs. You will have access to our state-of-the-art cleanroom facilities (www.zeplerinstitute.com/facilities), and be led by a team of world leading experts in the fibre laser and deep learning domains.

About you

You will have a PhD or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in an experimental discipline, ideally with experience in fibre optics and low-noise lasers and optical amplifiers, along with their practical implementation. Applications are also welcome from candidates nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. Whilst this is a laser development project, awareness of deep learning techniques is beneficial as you will be working closely with deep learning specialists.

Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.

What we offer

The University of Southampton is in the top 1% of world universities and in the top 10 of the UK’s research-intensive universities. We are committed to sustainability and being a globally responsible university. We have recently been awarded the Platinum EcoAward, and strive to embed sustainability into all aspects of our individual and collective work. We aim to create an environment where everyone can thrive and are proactive in fostering a culture of inclusion, respect and equality of opportunity. With a generous holiday allowance, we are committed to supporting our staff and are open to flexible working.

To informally discuss the position, contact Prof Johan Nilsson (jn@orc.soton.ac.uk) or Dr Ben Mills (bm602@orc.soton.ac.uk). Please quote the advert reference on all correspondence.

Research Technician
A research technician with expertise in fermentation and biofilm is sought to work on the development of biofilm for acid fermentation using waste hydrolysate. The post is funded as part of a PoC project on biomass waste to chemicals with CO2 fixation, aiming for negative carbon emissions in biorefinery. The main focus will be utilising the natural flocculation capability of a specific pure strain to form biofilm for platform acid fermentation, enabling sugar-rich hydrolysate-based fermentation possible for acid production and carbon fixation. The project will involve biofilm assays, fermentation, and inventory establishment for preliminary life cycle assessment. Developing bio-based platform chemicals from waste to replace or complement petroleum-derived chemicals is critical to moving towards a circular economy.
