PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR AND FIELD DIRECTOR POSITIONS IMMEDIATELY
AVAILABLE (Pittsburgh or Philadelphia)
GAI Consultants, Inc. (GAI) is an engineering and environmental
consulting firm with offices in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia,
Indiana, Virginia, and Florida.

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
The Principal Investigator (PI) (Lead Archaeologist) position requires
an M.A. or Ph.D. in anthropology/archaeology with no less than 5 years
supervisory experience; excellent writing, communication, management,
and organizational skills; and extensive background in supervising Phase
I/II and complex Phase III historic and/or prehistoric archaeological
investigations.  PI position involves the management and direction of
field, laboratory, and support staff, preparation of reports and
proposals (including cost estimates), and client and agency
coordination.  Applicants will be expected to prepare well written
research designs and synthetic and interpretive chapters of reports. 
PIs will manage several projects concurrently and should have a strong
artifact analysis background and a working knowledge of Section 106
(NHPA) and NEPA.  Experience with FERC policies and procedures
preferred.  It is critical that PIs meet stringent project budget and
schedule requirements.  GAI anticipates that much of this work will
occur in the Mid Atlantic region and vicinity including Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, New York, Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Maryland.  As
such, candidates familiar with the archaeology in this area and agency
staff are preferred.

FIELD DIRECTOR
The Field Director (Archaeologist/Senior Archaeologist) position is a
mid-level position that requires a B.A. or M.A. in
anthropology/archaeology with no less than 3 to 4 years supervisory
experience.  Candidates must have experience directing Phase I, Phase
II, and Phase III studies in the Mid Atlantic region on both prehistoric
and historic archaeological sites and must be able to meet tight project
schedules.  While these individuals will often work under the direction
of a Principal Investigator, it is anticipated that Field Directors will
operate independently in many cases. 

Candidates must be able demonstrate their communication,
organizational, logistical, and technical skills for this position as it
requires significant interaction with field crew, office and laboratory
staff, and client representatives.  A clear understanding of Section 106
(NHPA), soils, and strong mapping skills is an absolute must.  This
position involves significant field time so candidates should not have
any travel restrictions.  Artifact analytical skills will be considered
a plus.

The Field Director's primary responsibilities will be the supervision
of field crews involving the direction of the crew chief and
coordination with the Principal Investigator (PI) and Laboratory
Director.  In close cooperation with the PI, they may also coordinate
the work of draftspersons and support personnel necessary for the
production of draft and final reports and contribute to the preparation
of proposals (i.e., field estimates).  At times, a Field Director may be
requested to write small sections of reports commensurate with that
person's involvement with the project.
