In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together - who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (*************************** and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (************************* are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area.

These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them.

POSITION DESCRIPTION:
The Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology works on several different archaeological projects under contract with various private, Tribal, state, and Federal agencies. This work is supervised by the SOULA director and is executed in the field in the lab by SOU students (paid as student or work-study labor), and by professional staff/individuals typically with a BA/BS in anthropology or a related field or equivalent professional experience.
Individuals in these temporary staff positions are responsible for field survey and excavation, lab cataloging, basic analysis and data entry, GIS/GPS data processing, cartographic and graphic production, report writing and editing, and supportive supervision of student workers.
This kind of position is ‘industry standard' in Cultural Resource Management (CRM), in both the private and University sector, and is explicitly understood to be temporary and ad hoc, even while employment extends over long periods of time. It has already become our practice to ‘share' qualified field and lab people with other CRM firms based on the availability and necessity of work. This is part of the standard career trajectory; those with undergraduate degrees work as temporary employees in a variety of settings and gain research and life experience that eventually helps them gain entry to graduate school, a full time position with a CRM entity, or whatever other role they eventually take on. The CRM firms, conversely, have access to a pool of qualified and enthusiastic workers to execute projects.
Assignments typically make up the following classifications:
Field Technician 1: This entry-level position is for recently graduated students or individuals with little to no experience in the field. Under this position, the applicants will serve as general crew, and assist in the field and/or lab under the supervision of SOULA staff. Requires a minimum of a Bachelor's degree in anthropology or a related field. Must have transportation and a valid driver's license.
Field Technician 2/Research Assistant Level 1: This position will be used for crew with some experience, who are able to support the execution of certain aspects of a research project (after the research design is established), with minimal supervision. Requires a minimum of a Bachelor's degree in anthropology or related field with an archaeological field school or documented equivalent and some experience in the field. Must have transportation and a valid driver's license.
Research Assistant Level 2: This position is for staff who can serve as a crew chief and take the lead on small projects. This position requires a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology or related field and a minimum of 3 years of experience and an archaeological field school. This position includes the supervision of crew members in the field and in the lab, as well as the ability to prepare written documentation of the work completed. Must have transportation and a valid driver's license
Research Assistant Level 3: This position is for staff that will serve in supervisory roles such as crew chief or principal investigator, and /or those who bring specialized skillsets needed for a project. This position will require a minimum of a Master's Degree and the ability to meet the Oregon professional archaeologist and SOI standards. Duties could include those outlined under the Research Assistant Level 1 position, as well as running small projects, writing reports, and taking the lead on research. Must have transportation and a valid driver's license. This category could also be used for those who can conduct specialized research, serve as a project consultant, or have needed expertise. In this case, the archaeological and driving requirements may be waived as long as the applicant can demonstrate their experience and expertise in their given field.
Research Assistant Level 4: This position is for staff who meet the above-listed criteria, but also have a specialized skillset, extensive experience, and expertise that will add value to SOULA research and assist with timely project completion. This could include the ability to oversee or run larger projects, take the lead on client consultation, project management, technical reports or client deliverables, or other duties as assigned.
Minimum Requirements
Most positions require a minimum of a Bachelor's degree in anthropology or a related field and an archaeological field school. Dependent on job functions a Bachelor's degree may not be required.
Preferred Requirements
Experience with archaeological survey and excavation, lab work, GIS/GPS/computer graphics, spreadsheets and word processing, and detail-oriented.
Essential Functions
Duties - The following examples of typical work activities are meant to illustrate the general range of work functions and are not meant to be all-inclusive or restrictive:

Excellent organizational and time management skills.
Ability to initiate, establish, and foster communication and teamwork by maintaining a positive, cooperative, productive work atmosphere in and outside the University with the ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships within a diverse population and with those from various cultural backgrounds.

SOU Land Acknowledgement
We want to take this moment to acknowledge that Southern Oregon University is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples who lived here since time immemorial. These Tribes were displaced during rapid Euro-American colonization, the Gold Rush, and armed conflict between 1851 and 1856. In the 1850s, the discovery of gold and settlement brought thousands of Euro-Americans to their lands, leading to warfare, epidemics, starvation, and villages being burned. In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together - who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return, they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (******************* and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (**************** are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area. We encourage YOU to learn about the land you reside on and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people.

SOU Land Acknowledgement
We want to take this moment to acknowledge that Southern Oregon University is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples who lived here since time immemorial. These Tribes were displaced during rapid Euro-American colonization, the Gold Rush, and armed conflict between 1851 and 1856. In the 1850s, the discovery of gold and settlement brought thousands of Euro-Americans to their lands, leading to warfare, epidemics, starvation, and villages being burned. In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together - who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return, they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (******************* and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (**************** are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area. We encourage YOU to learn about the land you reside on and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people.

SOU Land Acknowledgement
We want to take this moment to acknowledge that Southern Oregon University is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples who lived here since time immemorial. These Tribes were displaced during rapid Euro-American colonization, the Gold Rush, and armed conflict between 1851 and 1856. In the 1850s, discovery of gold and settlement brought thousands of Euro-Americans to their lands, leading to warfare, epidemics, starvation, and villages being burned. In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together - who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (*************************** and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (************************* are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area. We [you may say I or the name of a program/department] encourage YOU to learn about the land you reside on, and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people.

SOU Land Acknowledgement
We want to take this moment to acknowledge that Southern Oregon University is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples who lived here since time immemorial. These Tribes were displaced during rapid Euro-American colonization, the Gold Rush, and armed conflict between 1851 and 1856. In the 1850s, discovery of gold and settlement brought thousands of Euro-Americans to their lands, leading to warfare, epidemics, starvation, and villages being burned. In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together - who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (*************************** and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (************************* are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area. We [you may say I or the name of a program/department] encourage YOU to learn about the land you reside on, and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people.
