The role also includes producing presentations, reports, papers, and other publications of national and international standing. Funding and terms: salary from £38,784 per annum ; fixed-term for 30 months ; full-time at 1 FTE . Eligibility highlights: applicants should be prepared to work across archaeology, environmental science, geochemistry, and analytical chemistry, and collaborate with researchers across partner universities and project networks.
