Job Posting:
Director, Arkansas Archeological Survey.
The Arkansas Archeological Survey is seeking a full-time Director to begin July 1, 2013. Established by the Arkansas General Assembly in 1967, the Survey operates a statewide program of archeological research, public service, and public education through eleven research stations and the Coordinating Office. Eight research stations are located on university campuses, two are associated with archeological state parks, and one is operated in cooperation with the City of Blytheville. Research station archeologists conduct basic research, support the host institution either through teaching or service, provide educational opportunities to citizens of Arkansas, and provide technical assistance to state and federal agencies. The Survey's Coordinating Office in Fayetteville houses the administrative offices, the State Archeologist's office, the Registrar's office, Computer Services, Sponsored Research Program, and the Publications Office. Survey administrative staff includes the Director and Assistant Director for Financial Affairs and support staff. See http://www.arkansasarcheology.org for more information.
By law, the Survey is the state repository for archeological site and project information. The Survey works closely with the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program in the Department of Arkansas Heritage, Arkansas State Parks, and Indian tribes that once lived in Arkansas. The Survey's enabling legislation authorizes it to support the programs of the Arkansas Archeological Society, a statewide amateur organization (see Arkansas Code 13-6-201- 216).
Director's Responsibilities: The Director works at the pleasure of the President of the University of Arkansas System and the University of Arkansas, Board of Trustees.

The Director will facilitate research and publication opportunities, and work closely with the Department of Anthropology and the Environmental Dynamics Program at the University of Arkansas Fayetteville. The Director will have a Research title in the Department of Anthropology with an opportunity for teaching and directing graduate research.
Qualifications: Ph.D. in Anthropology with a specialty in North American archeology. Successful candidates will have experience in the management of a diverse organization devoted to research, heritage preservation, and education.
