Applications are now open for the Fitch Laboratory Assistant Apprenticeship
The British School at Athens (BSA) invites applications from organised, enthusiastic, and highly motivated postgraduate students for the BSA Fitch Laboratory Assistant Apprenticeship. This is a seven-month funded apprenticeship running from October 2026 to April 2027.
The apprenticeship offers individuals with an existing interest in archaeological science the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience in a leading archaeological research laboratory. It is particularly suited to PhD students working in archaeological science, especially those with a focus on Aegean archaeology, and preferably ceramic studies, who may also be able to undertake part of their own laboratory-based research using the Laboratory’s facilities, including reference collections, microscopes and facilities for experimental work.
About the Apprenticeship
During the seven-month appointment, the successful candidate will receive training across a broad range of laboratory activities while contributing to the day-to-day operation of the Fitch Laboratory. Working closely with the Laboratory Administrator, Scientific Research Officer and Laboratory Director, the apprentice will gain valuable practical experience in laboratory procedures, collections management and archaeological research support.
Applicants should reside in Athens for the duration of the apprenticeship.
