For this position you need to go abroad: California, no less.
You will participate in a research project by analysing cuneiform material using the Berkeley Prosopography Services (BPS). Prosopography is a specialized technique for studying pre-modern societies which aims for learning about patterns of relationships and activities through the study of collective biography. It entails collecting and analysing statistically relevant quantities of biographical data from cuneiform scripts.
