University College London

Archaeology South-East (the `Field Unit' of the Institute of Archaeology, UCL) requires short-contract staff to work on excavations in southern England. Work involves excavation and recording on archaeological sites as well as finds/environmental processing. We also very occasionally require Senior Archaeologists ('supervisors') to help in the running of some of our larger projects.

Work-opportunities can arise at very short notice, and we currently have in place a number of tenders, which if successful will mean that we will require archaeologists at short notice. Therefore, we are looking for expressions of interest from suitably experienced/qualified archaeologists whom we can contact as and when circumstances require. If you have already contacted us seeking work within the past three months there is no need to re-apply, and we will actively consider your application as project work arises.

Assistant Archaeologists will be paid on Grade 4, currently £17,026 per annum - £18,550 per annum. Archaeologists will be paid on Grade 5, £19,089 per annum - £22,126 per annum and Senior Archaeologists will be paid on Grade 6, which is currently £22,765 pera annum - £27,183 per annum.

Further details (including job descriptions) can be obtained from Jayne Brooks, Archaeology South-East, Units 1&2, 2 Chapel Place, Portslade, East Sussex, BN41 1DR. email fau@ucl.ac.uk.

Applications should be made by letter/email and CV to Jayne Brooks at the above address. Applications must include both an email address and `phone-number that will allow us to make contact at short notice.
