My dream job was found through usajobs.gov. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service has an opening for an Archaeological Technician in California. The job focuses on Archaeological fieldwork and utilizes GIS skills through the cataloging and inventorying of data into GIS maps.
To qualify for a GS07 position the following qualifications are required "Specialized experience is defined as experience using a compass, topographic maps, aerial photos, and a Global Positioning System (GPS) to locate sites and survey areas. Conducting archaeological surveys and identifying archaeological artifacts and features in the field. Recording archaeological sites to determine potential project effects on cultural resources. Performing library and archival research using a variety of reference materials. Using Geographic Information System (GIS) programs, such as ArcGIS, for database entry. Producing site and survey maps. Assisting higher level archaeological personnel in preparing and/or writing technical reports".
All of the classes offered through the GIS cohort could be beneficial for this position, but the archaeological track courses help zone in on specifics of tasks that may be required with this job.
