Career Development Fellow in Classical Archaeology and Practice

Durham University’s Department of Archaeology is one of the UK’s top Archaeology departments with an outstanding reputation for excellence in teaching, research and the employability of our students. We are consistently ranked one of the top Archaeology departments in the UK (e.g. Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021, The Guardian University Guide 2023, Times University Guide 2024) and one of the top five globally (World University QS rankings 2024). Our expertise covers a broad chronological and geographical span, from the Palaeolithic to the present-day, and from Europe via Africa, the Middle East and South Asia to China. We have particular expertise in Roman and Classical archaeology, and work closely with Durham University Oriental Museum and the Department of Classics. We are home to a series of cutting-edge laboratories, including digital visualisati on and materials analysis, artefact conservation, aDNA, isotopic and luminescence research, and field- and lab-based commercial operations. The Department has four single honours undergraduate degrees, two joint honours UG degrees, six post-graduate taught degrees and a large community of research students at Masters and PhD level, as well as post-doctoral researchers. Our teaching strives to be inclusive and diverse, and our culture and employment practices enabled the department to achieve an Athena Swan Silver award in 2022. Major international research projects are exploring topics from landscape archaeology and cultural heritage protection across Africa, Asia and Europe to bioarchaeological evidence for health and mobility of populations.
