Archaeometry Editorial Coordinator

We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Editorial Coordinator to support the editorial operations of Archaeometry, a leading journal in the field of scientific archaeology. Based within the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art (RLAHA), you will play a key role in managing the editorial workflow using the Research Exchange (REX) system, liaising with authors, editors, and publishers, and ensuring the smooth progression of manuscripts from submission to publication. Instrumental in this role is the ability to proactively support Professor Shadreck Chirikure and the editorial team in this dynamic environment.

You will bring experience in editorial or administrative roles, with excellent communication skills and a keen eye for detail. You are confident working independently, managing multiple tasks, and prioritising effectively to meet deadlines. You will be comfortable using standard office software and databases and ideally have experience in a higher education or publishing environment. An interest in archaeology or academic publishing is desirable. You will also demonstrate discretion when handling confidential material and be a collaborative team player.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to [email protected]

You will be required to upload a CV and Supporting Statement as part of your online application. The Supporting Statement should clearly describe how you meet each of the selection criteria listed in the job description.

The closing date for applications is 12:00 noon on Monday, 18 August 2025.

Only applications submitted through the University of Oxford e-recruitment system and received before the closing date can be considered.

We expect to hold interviews during the third week of August 2025.
