Job Opening for a director

27/01/2012

Dear all,

On March 30th 2012, I will complete 5 years of directorship of the Belgian School at Athens. It is challenging job, balancing between diplomacy, finance, research, heritage and archaeology but most fulfilling when complex tasks like the setup and organisation of exhibitions or negotiations with involved ministeries come to a succesful closure. The school is in my heart and it was no easy decision to have to stop. However, the School must come first and for that reason, the position of director for the Belgian School at Athens will be vacant as from April 1st.

The Centre for archaeological research in Greece (BCAOG-CBRAG) therefore announces the job opening for a director for the Belgian School at Athens. The official announcement and contact information can be found below.

The director,

Steven Soetens

Welcome »

Welcome to the site of the Belgian School at Athens. We are primarily engaged in archaeological research in Greece, including excavation, survey, material studies, publication, presentation and preservation of our findings. Our main projects consist in the archaeological excavations at Thorikos in Lavrion Attikis, at Sissi (Agiou Nikolaou) Lasithiou on Crete and at Itanos (Sitias) Lasithiou also on Crete.

Apart from these projects, we host a library with a large number of Belgian publications on Greek archaeology, we organise conferences and colloquia, and we hope in a near future to enlarge our activities.

Through this website we aim to reach everyone involved or interested, Belgians with an interest in Greek archaeology, Greeks interested in what Belgian archaeologists do in Greece, a lecture calendar of Belgian academics, guidelines on excavation and research permits, Belgian academic institutions involved in research on Greek soil and heritage.

The director

Jan Driessen
