Average Archaeologist

Elizabeth. Bioarchaeologist. Graduate student.

Advice needed.  I’m applying for a job with/at my university and they want to know what I hope to achieve through my postgraduate studies.  It’s a pretty open question and seems that there’s no word limit so I’m just not sure how much/what to talk about.  

Any suggestions?
