The University of Zurich invites applications for a professorship in Chinese studies with a concentration on modern China (open rank).

The position should be filled as soon as possible. Depending on the qualifications of the appointee, the professorship will take the form of a tenured full or associate professorship, or an assistant professorship with tenure track.

Relevant teaching experience, a track record in the acquisition of third-party funding, and academic administration skills are expected. Applicants are also required to show a pronounced readiness for scholarly cooperation in contexts of transdisciplinary research and teaching, both within the University of Zurich and with national and international partners, and a willingness to engage with civil society. The future incumbent is expected to teach courses in German and English within three years of starting the position.
