Important Milestones as a Career Archaeologist: How to Make Academia Work for Industry
Marc Marino excavating an area of the Caracol Archaeological Project, Cayo, Belize.
Please join the Graduate Research Series in Anthropology via Zoom at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 24, for our monthly presentation where Marc D. Marino will discuss his work as an archaeologist and how to apply academic skills in external industries.
Marino is a doctoral candidate at the University of Arkansas in the Department of Anthropology, with a focus on archaeology. Marino has 10 years of professional archaeological experience and has worked on archaeological projects in Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico and the United States. Marino's specialties in both academic and industry include geographic information systems, chemical analysis, and lithic analysis.
Register in advance for this Zoom meeting.
A recent review of federal job announcements for an "Archaeologist" at agencies like the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service, reveal a trend in what these agencies expect in applicants. Varying degrees of education and field experience are typically the focus of applicants.
Yet, other lesser-known skills, such as technical report writing, proposal writing, data visualization, public outreach, and project management, are also required, as indicated during the federal application process.
The federal application process is reviewed in this talk, including questionnaires and interview questions, with a focus on "transferable skills." A general timeline of when students should accomplish certain milestones in their career is also given to encourage their career development.
About the Graduate Research Series in Anthropology: The Graduate Research Series is a monthly event for the University of Arkansas Undergraduate Anthropology Club during the fall 2020 semester. All are welcomed to attend. For more information please contact Samuel Martin at sam050@uark.edu.
