Yes, we’re hiring another historian! Remote within US only, unfortunately (I do not make the rules). And Mark is correct that we’re interested in hearing from History PhDs!
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.

Even though we're on holiday break here at @phoenixjournal.bsky.social , we're almost ready with 78.1-2. And even if the printer might only get it out very early in 2025, it feels good to have caught up with finishing an issue in the right calendar year!!
