Our staff
NIAS’ staff are dedicated to providing the best possible research environment for the pursuit of curiosity-driven advanced research in the humanities and social sciences.
NIAS’ administrative staff and community of international scholars help make sure that creativity and forward-thinking ideas can thrive, and NIAS’ small team and flat organisational structure keep the working environment informal and democratic.
Exciting opportunities to join our team and contribute to this unique environment open from time to time. Visit our “working at NIAS” page to learn more.
