Firaxis—the studio behind the Civilization series—is hiring a historian. An *actual* historian.
And note, when they ask for "4+ years as a Writer, Narrative Designer, or other position with commensurate duties," that includes teaching, writing, and research—i.e. your Ph.D. in History.

Für eine ungewiss lange Zeit ist das mein letzter Blogbeitrag. Dafür habe ich hier noch einmal ein kleines Schmankerl an DP-Geschichte - zu russischsprachigen Antikommunisten und Hawaii! Danke an @lenachristoph.bsky.social vakantio.de/mitgeschicht...
Was antikommunistische "Russen" in Südostasien mit Hawaii zu tun haben
Es ist komplex und ja, auch das ist DP-Geschichte.
