Laid-off UPenn Researchers Re-hired
By Erik Even | Dated: 07-02-2009
The University of Pennsylvania, which in May laid off 18 researchers, is hiring back 11 at the university’s Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology.Five other researchers will be non-salaried consulting scholars, who may be paid for projects or as adjunct faculty.
The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology was founded in 1887. During the early twentieth century, UPM conducted some of the first and most important archaeological and anthropological expeditions to Egypt, Mesopotamia, Africa, East Asia and South America. The museum also has a strong collection of Chinese artifacts. UPM’s scientific division, MASCA, focuses on the application of modern scientific techniques to aid the interpretation of archaeological contexts.

Testimonial of the Week
What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
