The Role
MOLA is seeking to recruit a Late Iron Age and Roman Pottery Specialist (permanent). The successful candidate will contribute to and develop an understanding of the past through the identification, recording, analysis, interpretation and reporting of pottery assemblages of this date from the core areas of MOLA’s operations, and the delivery of sites largely in London, the East Midlands and East of England which have yielded especially large quantities of this material.
Applicants should have a degree in archaeology or a relevant subject. They should have demonstrable experience of late Iron Age and Roman pottery and experience of assessing and analysing these assemblages and reporting on the results. The applicant should also have an understanding and awareness of current academic research within the specialism.
This post offers an opportunity to work with and be supported by a multi-disciplinary team of other specialists on a wide range of exciting projects and contribute towards developing MOLA Independent Research Organisation status and research and engagement projects within the broad specialist area, including being named on grant applications as appropriate (Research at MOLA ¦ MOLA).
