Job Position in Tampa, FL
Not sure how many readers I have in the Tampa Bay area but our department is looking for a qualified archaeologist to fill a position at one of the museums:
The Department of Anthropology at the University of South Florida seeks a Director of the Tampa Regional Center of the Florida Public Archaeology Network to begin Spring 2006. The position is full-time with benefits, and will be physically located at the Museum of Science and Industry, (MOSI) close to the USF campus. The successful applicant will have strong interpersonal and organizational skills and be able to build a new program in public archaeology that has both preservation planning and educational components. Responsibilities include supervising a program assistant and an annual program budget, developing educational programs, advising and assisting local governments and preservation organizations, and coordinating local archaeological activities. The Center will provide a focal educational resource for interest groups or the general public seeking knowledge about the archaeology and prehistory of the greater Tampa Bay region and will function in an advisory capacity for local governments or agencies that are developing or implementing preservation ordinances or cultural resource management practices on public lands. This position is not a faculty line and will not lead to a tenure-track position, although it is a continuing position.
Minimum qualifications include an M.A. in Anthropology or related field at the time of appointment, and one year of experience in cultural resource management and public archaeology. Preferred qualifications include two or more years of experience in Florida archaeology, historic preservation and public outreach; knowledge of local and state archaeological and historical preservation regulations, and some experience with public and educational programming. Salary: $50,000. For more information about the FPAN, please see web site at www.flpublicarchaeology.org.

Fowler Ave., Tampa, FL, 33620. For more information, contact Dr. Elizabeth Bird, Professor and Chair, at ebird@cas.usf.edu, or 813 974 0802. The position will remain open until filled; review of applications will begin March 16, 2006.
