The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology seeks to appoint a Senior Assistant Curator in Archaeology, to start on 1 October 2019 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Applications are welcome from research-active archaeologists with museum experience.

The appointee will contribute to the work of an internationally-respected, dynamic research museum, in particular to the care, documentation and exhibition of the Museum's extensive archaeological collections. He or she will help make the collections accessible to researchers, students, public audiences and source communities, and will be expected to supervise staff, volunteers and students, contribute to Museum administration and programmes, and to University teaching. The appointee should anticipate leading the redisplay of world archaeological collections, which occupy the Museum's second-floor Andrews Gallery.

Candidates should hold a PhD in archaeology or a related subject, with research expertise in a region other than Europe; preference may be given to a candidate with expertise in Africa or in South America. Candidates should have experience of curatorial work, research in a museum, and museum-based public engagement. Teaching experience in archaeology and involvement in exhibition development are highly desirable.
