Working as a federal archaeologist
Federal archaeology jobs are with agencies such as the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Forest Service, US Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Defense. These agencies manage large amounts of land and must follow laws such as Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, so they employ their own archaeologists.
Positions are advertised on USAJOBS and are usually paid on the General Schedule (GS) pay scale. Archaeologists are in the Archeology occupational series, GS-0193. Applications follow a specific format, with a detailed resume and an application questionnaire, and hiring often takes longer than at private firms. Some openings are limited to current federal employees or other groups, so check the “who may apply” section of each posting.
Agencies with current openings include National Park Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation.
