Greater New Orleans Regional Archaeologist
University of New Orleans

The University of New Orleans Dept. of Anthropology and the College of Urban
and Public Affairs, in a joint program of the University of New Orleans and
the State of Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism,
invites applications for the position of Greater New Orleans Regional
Archaeologist and Adjunct Assistant  Professor of Anthropology.  The
successful candidate will conduct surveys, test sites to determine
eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), and
nominate sites to the NRHP.  The Greater New Orleans Regional Archaeologist
will plan fieldwork based on inquiries and requests from the public,
research interests and priorities, and management issues in the region.  An
important part of the job is sharing information about archaeology with the
public and with governmental representatives.  The archaeologist will
provide information to city planners about known areas of historical
significance, help city and parish governments in complying with state and
federal laws regarding unmarked burials and archaeological resources, and,
with the aid of volunteers, conduct field projects with public tours and
interpretation.  In addition, once the research program and office of the
position are well established, the archaeologist will engage in teaching
courses at UNO that are directly related to the regional archaeology program
and to the general objectives of site identification and protection. The
statewide Regional Archaeology Program has earned strong public support and
professional respect.  It offers a great deal of autonomy and the
opportunity to develop research interests within the region.  The position
does not involve fieldwork related to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act.  Qualifications include an M.A. in anthropology or
archaeology; a Ph.D. is preferred.  Organization and completion of a field
study must be evidenced by a thesis, dissertation, or equivalent report.
Experience in urban archaeology of the Southeast is desirable.  Also helpful
are experience in organizing independent research, public speaking, report
writing, and budget administration.  Send letter of interest, vita, and
names of three references to Dr. Thomas H. Eubanks, State Archaeologist,
Division of Archaeology, P.O. Box 44247, Baton Rouge, LA 70804
