State Lands Archaeologist - Olympia
Recruitment # 2019-04-6932
Want to join something GREAT and make a difference?
Can you interpret the past to help guide future land management decisions? Does finding solutions to challenging projects inspire you? Will you be part of driving a positive organizational culture in a large and diverse state agency? If yes, apply to join our multidisciplinary stewardship team as the newest State Lands Archaeologist!
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) seeks to ensure that state trust lands are managed in collaboration with tribal nations, and with respect for tribal sovereignty and reserved rights. To fulfill the responsibilities as the State Lands Archeologist, you will work closely with tribes, DNR regions, divisions and programs, and the executive staff to accomplish this collaborative goal.
In this position, you will provide professional cultural resources analysis and consultative services to resource managers and field staff throughout Washington State. You will conduct cultural resource desk and field reconnaissance; develop resource management and monitoring plans; train staff at all levels; and oversee survey, sample collection, field evaluation and reporting work. You will coordinate with tribal representatives and state and federal agencies. You will produce and deliver teaching modules and collaborate on agency-level guidance and planning documents. You will assist with contract preparation and administration for cultural resource consultation services conducted by external entities.
You'll bring your substantial field experience and excellent project management skills to bear as one of two archaeologists responsible for cultural resource management on 5.6 million acres of state-managed uplands and aquatic lands. Ingenuity and agility are ideal skills as you manage shifting priorities with multiple competing deadlines to meeting agency commitments. You will effectively and positively communicate and network with internal staff from all regions, divisions, and executive management, as well as state, federal, and tribal agencies.
One of the best things about this job is the people you work with. The scientists of the DNR Forest Resources Division come from a variety of disciplines: ecology, forestry, wildlife biology, geography and spatial data management, geology, and more. We are dedicated to practicing sustainable land stewardship that provides conservation, recreation, and revenue opportunities throughout the state.
Given the diversity of Washington's landscapes and the breadth of the management solutions you will be responsible for coordinating, we are looking for an archaeological professional who is an adaptable generalist with considerable pedestrian survey experience. We are particularly interested in meeting applicants with a background in coastal, nearshore, or aquatic archaeology. A successful applicant has at least five years of field and project management experience and must meet the state of Washington's standards for qualified professional archaeologists (WAC 25-48-020 (4)) and one or both parts of the Secretary of the Interior's professional qualification standards for archaeology (36 CFR Part 61). Preference will be given to applicants who meet the prehistoric archaeology standard or additional professional qualification standards in the related disciplines.
In your application materials, please demonstrate your understanding of and experience with GIS, cartography, technical writing, teaching, project management, and program development.
This is a full-time, permanent, overtime-exempt position. It will require approximately 10-15 days away from the duty station per month, in addition to some overnight travel for fieldwork, meetings, conferences and other events throughout the region.
What will we trust you with?
* Identifying archaeological and cultural resources in the field, as well as effectively utilizing historic documentation and predictive models to guide field reconnaissance.
* Working collaboratively with project managers and communicating the landscape, historic, and cultural context of management recommendations.
* Understanding and staying current on federal, state, and agency guidance on cultural resource management.
* Thinking creatively and strategically while also meeting project deadlines.
* Communicating with inter-government partners in a thoughtful and respectful manner.
* Staying current and active in the field of archaeology, including representing DNR at regional and national conferences and professional journals.

Why do people choose to work for DNR?
"I enjoy the clients I support and there are a ton of smart, fun, passionate people in this agency that I have the privilege of interacting with and learning from. DNR is a great place because of the people who are here. They are passionate, hard-working, loyal, intelligent, kind, and FUN! The aspects of the agency that speak to me are how diverse the work is that we do; from forests to grass lands, from mountain tops to under water, the composition of the agency made up by various different responsibilities makes it so interesting."
"I am committed to this agency's purpose, the Washington Geological Survey is an amazing place full of innovative, creative, and open-minded people, and I get great satisfaction from serving Washington's residents. I love it here because this place loves me. I like how I am made to feel valued, appreciated, and I feel that my skills are constantly being broadened. I am generally my only limitation."
"The idea of managing the resources in perpetuity really speaks to me. I like that the work DNR does tries to strike a balance between business and conservation and that I don't have to compromise one for the other because I am expected to do both. We are expected to be good stewards of the resources and the decisions we make mean something...in perpetuity."
