The responsibilities of the PD typically involve traveling and work in both the field and office. The PD is responsible for report writing and having a solid understanding of the basics of cultural resource management.
For small- and medium-sized projects, the PD may assume additional tasks typically assigned to a Principal Investigator (PI), although you will work under the mentorships of the PI for that project. For larger projects, the PD will work in tandem with experience project directors and/or the PI and to ensure that all the tasks associated with project implementation are accomplished. We will provide the training you will need to meet your deadlines, remain on budget, and meet SRI’s standard of care.
A PD will typically work on multiple projects simultaneously so the ability to multitask is critical. Once you have settled in at SRI, you will have the opportunity to train crew technicians and crew leads in archaeological field methods. We strive for a harmonious and productive work environment with our fellow SRI staff members and clients are looking for individuals who see the same.
