Geoarchaeologist

http://www.bajr.org/Employment/UKEmploymentDetails.asp?ID=119665

You can expect to be involved in a wide range of specialist-led projects relating to terrestrial, near-shore and offshore environments, which will include specialist desk-based assessments, borehole surveys and monitoring of Ground Investigation works, Pleistocene and Palaeolithic evaluation and mitigation works, palaeoenvironmental assessments, submerged palaeolandscape assessments and much more.
 
Also, you will work closely with and provide advice to our colleagues across our Geoservices (including Marine Geophysics, Terrestrial Geophysics, Environmental and Geomatics), Fieldwork, Coastal and Marine and Heritage teams on some of the most exciting and high-profile archaeological sites and projects in the UK.
 
Day-to-day activities will vary by grade and specialisms – further details are provided in the role specification.

We are looking for candidates with experience in geoarchaeology or a related earth science discipline including Quaternary Science and Physical Geography to take on roles at all grades, depending on skills and experience.
 
We are keen to hear from geoarchaeologists already working in commercial archaeology or with experience working in a closely related discipline. Or perhaps you are an archaeologist who has some initial experience of geoarchaeology and/or environmental archaeology, has a willingness to learn and a desire to develop a career path in geoarchaeology? We are also interested in recent graduates or postgraduates in relevant subjects who want to start their career in geoarchaeology.
 
Candidates will ideally have a degree/post-graduate degree in geoarchaeology, archaeology, Quaternary science, or a closely related Earth Science subject. Candidates should have a solid skillset together with good reporting and communication skills. Previous experience of working in a commercial environment is desirable but not essential as training will be provided.
 
Experience in Pleistocene Pleistocene/Palaeolithic archaeology and/or a palaeoenvironmental specialism would be advantageous but not essential. Existing experience in British Archaeology and deposit modelling is not essential as opportunities will be provided to build expertise in this area through individual training and mentorship
