Archaeologist/CRM Professional Relocating to Northeast US/Mid-Atlantic
rmdean
At this point I am looking for an Albany, NY-area firm that is hiring, or for an outside firm that is looking for a remote employee. Relocating from Alaska back to where I began my career in the Northeast US. Interested in federal jobs and the private sector. I am detail-oriented, quick-learning, and self-motivated. I have a strong background in cultural resource laws and practice and archaeological method and practice. I am equally at home in the office and the field. References available upon request.
