University of Tartu, Estonia

Term of contract: Jan 2, 2012 - Jan 31, 2017

At the moment, a current vacancy of the professor in laboratory

largest town in Estonia and an acknowledged university town in
Europe. With the invitation we are asking qualified candidates to
apply for the position. The professorate of laboratory archaeology
is young and has been active only in the past five years. With these
years there have not been many substantial undertakings in the
field, so the vacant position offers great possibility to build a
working institution of laboratory archaeology, involving both the
training of specialists in the area as well as developing a
functional scientific laboratory for the whole Baltic States.
Besides classroom teaching and supervising students the professor of
laboratory archaeology is responsible for developing a functioning
and high-level conservation and preservation laboratory.

Required language skills--Estonian needed--should not discourage the
possible candidates, it can be passed.

In Autumn 2011 Institute of History and Archaeology will be moving
into a freshly renovated building in the centre of Tartu, providing
excellent opportunities to equip a working laboratory. The personnel
of archaeologists in the Institute of History and Archaeology is not
very large, but we have many interested students who would like to
have a more adequate picture of the subject.

position, see the complete version of this advertisement at:
