Jobs at the OAS
“Permanent” positions at OAS are really “contract-to-contract,” but we make every effort to provide career-long employment with full benefits for our staff.
Openings for long-term staff positions at OAS are advertised through the New Mexico State Personnel Office. You can find announcements of open positions at the NMSPO web site, careers.share.nm.gov. Search for “Anthropologist/Archaeologist” (we occasionally hire for other job classes). Jobs are usually posted for only two weeks, but we try to advertise openings through the New Mexico Archaeological Council list and other outlets.
Anyone seeking employment should make sure that they have access to their resumes and photocopies of college transcripts documenting coursework and degrees. Paper copies of all application materials should be sent to OAS after the information has been entered electronically into the SPO web site.
Temporary work and jobs for laborers are not advertised through State Personnel. To inquire about these short-term positions, contact John Taylor-Montoya or Thatcher Seltzer-Rogers at the OAS.
