In addition to your own research, you will assist to a limited degree in the preparation of research events, projects, and applications for third-party funding.


Our requirements:

  • An excellent university degree (M.Sc. / M.A. / Magister / PhD) in the field of Japanese or Asian Studies with a focus on Japan
