It aims to position itself nationally and internationally as one of the leading institutions in the field. By bringing together the disciplines of Chinese Studies, Indian Studies, Islamic Studies, Japanese Studies, and Gender Studies within one institutional structure, the University of Zurich's strategic focus on Asian and Oriental studies has become more prominent within the University, the international academic landscape and amongst the general public in Switzerland.

- actively participate in research colloquiums and in the broader activities of the Department and the Institute (such as the "Zurich medievalist network")

**Your profile**:

- PhD in Islamic Studies or adjacent fields (history, religious studies, anthropology)
- Excellent knowledge of Arabic required; knowledge of another language relevant to the field (Persian, Ottoman Turkish, Urdu) appreciated
- Teaching experience
- Administrative skills
- Interdisciplinary research agenda focusing on dis/continuities between the pre-modern and the modern world
- Motivation to further advance on the academic career path according to the standards of the German-speaking university system ("Habilitation")

**What we offer**: The position is temporary (two years), with the option to be extended to nine years in total.

We offer varied and interesting work in an inspiring and socially relevant environment.

Diversity and inclusion are important to us.
