Position Highlights

The University of Arizona's Tree Ring Laboratory within the College of Science invites you to apply to the role of Archivist I.

As a Project Archivist, you will serve as a cooperator for the National Park Service (NPS) Intermountain Region Museum Services Program within the Archives and Records Management Division. In this engaging role, you will develop and refine processing plans; physically process, arrange, and complete storage upgrades; and perform descriptive cataloging of resource management-based records. You will also prepare finding aids to facilitate the research of collections. Resource management records include natural and cultural resource project records, programmatic records, and records documenting the daily administrative activities of various park units.

The Project Archivist will apply best practices established by the National Archives Records Administration, including scanning, metadata attachment, and storage. Archivists receive materials ranging from single boxes to small batches, which require careful handling and organization. They work on one or two projects at a time, focusing on learning proper techniques and building familiarity with different types of materials. You will be encouraged to develop time management skills by prioritizing tasks within a single project, with regular check-ins and support from supervisors. As you gain experience, there may be opportunities to work on portions of larger projects to expand your skills, always with clear instructions and oversight.

The Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR) is a hub of interdisciplinary research, teaching, and outreach at the University of Arizona. Established in 1937, LTRR formalized the scientific study of tree rings in America and has since become a global leader in dendrochronology. Using the information preserved in the annual rings of trees, LTRR researchers work to better understand and quantify the complex interactions among Earth’s climate, ecosystems, and societies. The laboratory is dedicated to developing and advancing novel approaches to address scientific questions of societal relevance while sharing these discoveries and their impacts with researchers, students populations, the general public, resource managers, and policymakers alike. If you are passionate about contributing to meaningful research and outreach in a collaborative and impactful environment, we invite you to join our team.

Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

Outstanding U of A benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance plans; life insurance and disability programs; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; U of A/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; retirement plans; access to U of A recreation and cultural activities; and more!

The University of Arizona has been recognized for our innovative work-life programs.
