Koch took as her minor subjects Classical Archaeology, Byzantine Art History, and Christian Archaeology. From 1977 to 1986 she was employed at the Department of Iranian Studies and Near Eastern Archaeology in University of Göttingen. In 1986, at the University of Marburg, she worked on the labor administration and the economy in the Persian heartland at the time of the Achaemenids. Then she taught as a lecturer. In 1990-91 Koch worked on research projects funded by German Research Foundation. Between 1993-94 she taught for two semesters as a substitute professor at the Goethe University in Frankfurt. Since 1995 she is a professor of Iranian Studies in the context of ancient history at the University of Marburg. Her main subject areas are the Persian history and Persian languages of the pre-Islamic period. She puts special emphasis on the cultural and economic history, the management and the religion. She utilizes both written sources and the archaeological remains. A second research focus is the exploration of Elam and its neighboring regions, especially in terms of the influences that they exerted on the subsequent Persian Empire. She is married to the Christian archaeologist Guntram Koch. Works[edit] Die religiösen Verhältnisse der Dareioszeit.
