Research and Teaching Assistant Positions

The Center for Comparative and International Studies (CIS) offers around ten such positions to each cohort of students admitted to MACIS. Based on a workload of around 10 hours per week, this generates an income of around CHF 1'000/month. This amount covers around 50 % of total living expenses in Zurich. Such positions also offer a great opportunity to become involved in ongoing research projects undertaken by CIS professors. They are offered on a competitive basis upon admission. Once admitted, students will receive more information about the hiring process during the summer prior to the start of the programme.
