Job Opportunity: Research Assistant - Policy Analysis in China

We are seeking a highly motivated research assistant to join our team at the Leiden Institute for Area Studies. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to an interdisciplinary project on contemporary China, focusing on policy analysis and governance.

The research assistant will work closely with Dr. Rogier Creemers and Mr. Vincent Brussee to conduct background research, identify relevant primary sources, and develop skills in text-as-data methods. The role will involve data management tasks, testing digital tools, and assisting with programming work.

To be considered for this position, applicants must be current master's students or in the final stages of a bachelor's degree in a relevant field, such as China Studies, political science, law, or digital humanities. A demonstrated interest in conducting research and digital methods is essential, although programming experience is not required. Good Chinese language skills, specifically the ability to read and contextualize primary sources, are also necessary.

The position offers a 0.2 fte contract (7.6 hours per week) starting January 2025, with a salary ranging from €2,826 to €2,951 gross per month, based on full-time employment. Leiden University offers an attractive benefits package, including holiday pay and end-of-year bonuses.

In addition to the salary, the university provides a stimulating working environment with opportunities for professional growth and development. We value diversity and inclusivity, and our organization fosters a culture that enables all employees to feel valued and respected.

If you are a motivated and detail-oriented individual with a passion for policy analysis and China studies, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity. Please submit your application, including your CV and a concise motivation letter, by 30 November 2024, via our online application system.
