The interdisciplinary Department of Archaeology is ranked first in the Guardian University Guide 2018 and is listed as one of the top four archaeology departments in the world in the 2017 QS World University Rankings list.

- Good leadership and communication skills.
- A clear research plan covering the next three to five years with knowledge of generating income for research projects.

If you also have a PhD in archaeological/object conservation or a related field, and are able to supervise PhD students, that would be ideal.
