From University of Chicago's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Department
Museum Registration
The Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures of the University of Chicago is an interdisciplinary research center that integrates archaeological, textual, linguistic, and art historical data to understand the development and functioning of the ancient civilizations of West Asia and North Africa from the earliest Holocene through the Medieval period.
We achieve this by conducting archaeological excavations, text-based research, artifact analyses, the development of new research methodologies, the stewardship of systematic archival and museum collections as research resources, and the development of fundamental research tools such as dictionaries of ancient languages.
We communicate our research to the scholarly community through the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures’ (and other) publications and to the general public through our museum exhibits and our programs of outreach and education.
Our goal is to be the world’s leading center for the study of the ancient civilizations of West Asia and North Africa by combining innovation in theory, methodology, and significant empirical discovery with the highest standards of rigorous scholarship.
Job Summary
The Assistant Registrar reports to the Museum Registrar and the Museum Director and leads the ISAC Museum's imaging and rights and permissions program.
