JOBS INFORMATION SERVICE BULLETIN
The JIS is published every Wednesday and contains job opportunities from newspapers, magazines, specialist journals and websites,
as well as advertisements placed exclusively in the JIS bulletin. Intended primarily, though not exclusively, for professional
archaeologists, the JIS covers posts in all archaeological, museums and heritage disciplines, and includes post-graduate courses and
research studentships in archaeology and related fields.
The IfA does not control advertisements that appear in the bulletin. However, if advertisements appear to offer rates of pay below the
IfA recommended minima, or raise other issues of employment practice, the IfA will contact the advertising organisation and robustly
address these issues.
The IfA recommends the following minimum starting salaries for 2010/2011 (from 1 APRIL 2010):
PIfA responsibilities £15,054; AIfA responsibilities £17,534; MIfA responsibilities £22,704.
st
The minima have been increased in line with inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which was 3.2% on 1
April. However, the IfA is committed to a target increase in minimum salaries of 13% above inflation until 2013. IfA hopes to
close the gap with salaries in comparative sectors by increasing its recommended minimum salaries by 13% above inflation
over five years. The resultant minima, in today’s terms, would be PIfA £17,011, AIfA £19,813 and MIfA £25,656.

School of Applied Sciences at Bournemouth University
Researcher (ECOSAL: Archaeology & Heritage)
Part time: 3 days per week (0.6 post) at Grade 6 (£26,523-£30,747 pro rata)
The School of Applied Sciences at Bournemouth University invites applications from suitably qualified
candidates interested in working on an EU INTERREG Project on the archaeology and heritage of
salt-making sites along the Atlantic coast.
The purpose of this post is to contribute to the ECOSAL Project by means of research (both desk
based and field based), liaising with university staff, outside consultants, organisations and other
specialists to deliver high quality data and writing related reports and papers. This will involve
research into various aspects of salt working and its related archaeological and ecological heritage at
a range of sites within the UK study area.
Applicants should ideally hold a post-graduate qualification in archaeology or a related subject and be
able to demonstrate ability in field work and report writing. The post-holder will need to undertake
field assessment visits to sites throughout the project area, both in conjunction with other Project
members and unaccompanied; some of these sites will be in moderately-challenging terrain. Good
map-reading skills and reasonable physical fitness and outdoor skills are therefore essential.
The post-holder should be willing to work away from home/base for limited periods, both for data
capture/entry and for fieldwork.
Familiarity with the archaeology of salt making and/or the archaeology of coastal environments is
highly desirable; some additional training in the recognition, understanding and recording of sites to
project requirements will be given by project staff and consultants.
Application forms and further details may be found at www.bournemouth.ac.uk/jobs/.

Advertisers: it has come to our notice that some employers do not acknowledge applications or CVs sent to them and
do not inform applicants that they were unsuccessful in applying for work. Failure to respond to applicants contributes to a
sense of disillusionment, particularly in those who are trying to live and gain work experience on a series of short-term
contracts, and eventually, to the loss of talented archaeologists from the profession.
We appreciate that adverts can result in the receipt of a large number of applications, and that it is not always policy to
contact unsuccessful applicants. We therefore suggest that organisations state clearly in the advert if applications will not
receive an acknowledgement, and provide a date by which shortlisting will have taken place so that applicants who have not
been notified by that time can assume they were unsuccessful. Please note: all applicants are entitled to receive feedback if
unsuccessful. Thank you, L.B.
