Elisa Uusimäki, the PI of the project, works on the literary and cultural history of Judaism in antiquity. Her areas of expertise include wisdom and ethics, lived ancient religion, travel and cultural interaction, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Hellenistic Judaism. In the context of ANINAN, Uusimäki works on several aspects of movement in the ancient world, including a book on women travellers in the ancient Jewish tradition.

Anat Shapiro, a PhD student from Tel Aviv, joined the project in September 2021 and is writing a thesis on the freedom of movement in the book of Jonah. Lasse Løvlund Toft and Miriam DeCock conducted short periods of postdoctoral research related to the reception history of biblical travel narratives in ANINAN before acquiring academic positions at the University of Oslo and Dublin City University, respectively. Eelco Glas and Rivkah Gillian Glass joined the project as postdocs in January 2023. Glas works on Jewish migrant authors in the Greco-Roman world, while Glass explores conceptions of travel in Hellenistic Jewish novels and related literature.

In addition to the core team, Rosanne Liebermann, a specialist in forced migrations in the ancient Near East, is an associate member of ANINAN.
