Candidates must hold a PhD degree at the time of application and have an excellent record of academic achievements in the relevant field. Depending on the qualification of the successful applicant, the appointment will be at the rank of either full professor, associate professor or assistant professor with tenure track. Teaching may be carried out in English. Non-German speaking candidates are expected to acquire a working knowledge of German within the first three years of their appointment.
The Department of Slavonic Studies, the University of Zurich and Zurich as a university location offer a stimulating research and teaching environment with opportunities for professional exchange and cooperation.
