The Lost Towns of Anne Arundel Project, Al Luckenbach, Director, expects
to fill the position of Chief Historian beginning July
1, 1998, and running through June 30, 1999. Prospects for contract
renewal for the next four years are good. The Lost Towns Project
operates out of Annapolis, Maryland, and involves the public in original
archaeological, archival, and environmental research, focusing on Anne
Arundel County's 'lost' 17th and 18th-century towns. The successful
candidate will: work on grants, reports, and publications; supervise
three part-time historians and varying numbers of interns; oversee
relational database maintenance; and work in concert with the
Assistant Director for Research and GIS technicians. Preferred degrees
in history or geography with experience in urban theory and 17th/18th
century town formation.
 
The position is that of independent contractor. There are no
health/insurance benefits and the Chief Historian will be responsible
for any tax liabilities incurred as a self-employed person. Contract
range: $28,000 through $31,000, depending on experience and training.
A.B.D./Ph.D. preferred. M.A. a must. Demonstrated writing abilities and
database and/or GIS proficiency preferred. Position is separate from,
and should not be confused with, that of Assistant Director for
Operations, previously posted.
