Community Archaeology Bursaries Project 2012–13 Placements

Applications Have now Closed!

The Council for British Archaeology (CBA) is offering 10 twelve month paid bursary places with different host organisations across the UK, starting in April 2012.

The bursaries are funded through the Heritage Lottery Fund’s Skills for the Future programme, with support from English Heritage, Cadw and Historic Scotland and are aimed at training individuals who already have a good working knowledge of archaeological theory and practice in the skills needed to run and support effective community archaeology projects.

Placements will start in April 2012 and successful candidates will receive a salaried bursary of approx £16,450 (see individual job descriptions for further details).

Whilst the key skillls being developed are the same overall, each individual placement is unique so please read the job descriptions and person specifications in the applicant packs carefully.

The host organisations and locations for this year of CATPs are below. Please click on the link to find out more. In order to be kept up to date about future placement opportunities through this scheme, contact the CBA to be added to the project mailing list.
