10-month fixed-term Lectureship in Archaeology for the 2008-9 academic year.
Candidates with teaching experience in the fields of world archaeology, British prehistory and material culture
studies are particularly encouraged to apply, and we would welcome candidates from both the humanities- and science-based branches of the discipline. The successful candidate will also complement and extend existing research strengths in Archaeology such as northern and circumpolar societies, hunter-gatherer studies, ancient mentalities, religions and world-views and landscape analysis. Application deadline: July 4.
Permanent Lectureship and Permanent Senior Lectureship/Readership:
two permanent posts at the respective scales of Lecturer and Senior Lecturer/Reader. The candidates should have a proven track record of research and publication in the archaeology of the northern world, and we particularly seek applicants working with prehistoric or historic periods in North America and/or northern Eurasia (including Scandinavia). Other areas of specific
interest include zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, bioarchaeology, archaeological materials science and archaeological geophysics. Candidates who can combine any of these skills with the stated regional specialisms are especially encouraged to apply. We also particularly welcome archaeologists who specialise in northern indigenous communities, or who
conduct archaeological work in those areas. Application deadline: July 5
