It's raining jobs!

Raining is overstating it, but contrary to typical prospects in archaeology--especially public archaeology--it feels like Florida's cup overfloweth this fall.  Three job postings are currently open: museum manager at FPAN, Assistant Professor position at our host institution Flagler College, and Director of Education with partner the St. Augustine Lighthouse.  All three are looking for qualified public archaeologists to fill the positions.  Take a look and spread the word!
