Your responsibilities

  • Develop and complete an independent doctoral dissertation within one of the project's four areas of research, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jean Christopher Mittelstaedt
  • Develop, with guidance, large datasets from published Chinese-language sources for the dissertation, and contribute to the project's shared analytical framework
  • Publish findings from the dissertation in peer-reviewed journals and contribute to co-authored outputs of the project
  • Conduct fieldwork, archival or interview research where the dissertation requires it and conditions allow
  • Take part in the research activities of the team and present work at conferences
  • Enrol in a doctoral programme of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Zurich
  • Assist with the organisation of workshops and with limited administrative tasks of the project

Your profile

  • An excellent MA degree (or equivalent) in political science, sociology, Chinese studies, history or a related discipline, completed by the start of employment
  • Proficiency in modern Chinese sufficient to work independently with Chinese-language primary sources
  • A serious interest in political institutions and organisations, and the ability to engage with theory in comparative politics, political sociology, organisation studies or the study of ideology
  • Training in at least one of the following: qualitative or interpretive methods, quantitative methods, computational text analysis. We do not expect candidates to arrive with all of these: the willingness to acquire new methods matters more than a complete toolkit at the outset
  • Excellent written and spoken English; German is an asset but not required
  • The ability to work independently as well as in a team, and a commitment to a shared project over four years

The University of Zurich is committed to equal opportunity and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of gender, origin or background.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
