Stephen Wickler
Forsker, førstestilling med hovedvekt på maritim arkeologi
Stillingsbeskrivelse
Jeg har ansvar for forvaltning av kulturminner under vann i Nord-Norge nord for Saltfjellet i en stilling tilknyttet UMs status som sjøfartsmuseum med økonomisk støtte fra Riksantikvaren til saksbehandling og andre oppgaver.
En av mine hovedarbeidsoppgaver er forskningsbasert formidling av maritime kulturminner hvor forskning og forvaltning er likestilt og integrert i en museal kontekst.
Min forskning er rettet mot relasjoner mellom mennesker og vann både i forhistorie og nyere tid, med et særlig fokus på bosetning langs kysten og på øyer i nord i jernalder og middelalder.
Jeg er medlem av flere forskningsgrupper som er opptatt av hvordan forholdet mellom mennesker og natur kan belyses gjennom utprøving av nye arkeologiske metoder.
