About the role

State of Alaska in Anchorage seeks a Historian 1 to provide historical guidance to the Office of History and Archaeology and related programs. The role focuses on preserving Alaska's heritage, supporting education, and guiding geographic name initiatives. You will work with local communities on preservation planning, nominations to the National Register, and heritage tourism activities, with occasional field and travel requirements across Alaska.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
