As an Archaeologist, you will conduct archaeological and historical research, perform archaeological surveys and excavations, monitor construction projects, and prepare archaeological reports and plans. You will work statewide as part of the State Parks archaeology team, supporting projects related to park construction, resource management, historic preservation, and interpretation.

This position offers the opportunity to work in a wide variety of settings, from remote wilderness areas to urban parks, and to study sites ranging from pre-contact Hawaiian settlements to historic properties associated with the Hawaiian monarchy.
