The Institute of Asian and Oriental Studies (IAOS) of the University of Zurich is the largest center of research and teaching on Asia in Switzerland with about 100 employees. The Department of Japanese Studies invites applications for a PhD candidate / research and teaching fellow.

Your profile
  • MA in Japanese Studies (or equivalent), excellent thesis on a subject concerning literary or intellectual history.
