Faculty of Law
The University of Zurich is seeking applications for a Professorship in private law
(with a focus on the Code of Obligations)
to take effect from the beginning of the Spring Semester 2022
(1 February 2022), or by arrangement. The level of employment is 50%.
The professorship is to be occupied by an individual with a command
of the Swiss Code of Obligations as a subject in its full breadth and in
reference to comparative law. Proof of exceptional qualification in this
subject is to be provided in the form of an outstanding dissertation and a
completed or near-completed habilitation thesis (or equivalent academic
accomplishment).
Also desirable is a willingness to use research and teaching to address
current issues concerning the Code of Obligations that may arise in the
course of digitalisation, for example, as well as other developments.
Depending on the applicant’s qualifications, the professorship will take the
form of a full or associate professorship. A temporary tenure-track assistant
professorship is possible if the applicant’s habilitation thesis is at an
advanced stage but is not yet completed.
The University of Zurich strives to increase the representation of women
in research and teaching, and therefore specifically encourages qualified
female academics to apply.
