We're hiring an archaeologist!

The ideal applicant will be someone who can take a project from inception to publication, who is unafraid of asking for advice, and who will use initiative to problem solve.  Our senior officers are helpful and proactive mentors, who will champion their teams well-being on site, and who are available to support junior staff.

The role primarily involves excavating and recording archaeology of various periods on a range of site and project types.  Working hours will depend on volume of work, with the opportunity to work up to 5 days a week (37 hours per week during contracts, and 0 hours between projects - the post has been averaging 30 hours per week in the last year).
