About this position

Flinders University is recruiting an ARC Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Archaeology for the ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Archaeology in the Resources Sector. This postdoctoral role sits within the Best Practice Frameworks Research Program and focuses on the Drilling, Blasting and Impacts project.

The research is strongly interdisciplinary and industry-engaged, examining how mining activities such as drilling and blasting affect archaeological sites and culturally significant places. The successful candidate will work with industry partners, Traditional Owners, and researchers to improve cultural heritage assessment, protection, and management in active mining landscapes.
