The emphasis of his academic research is on the impact of interventions on local patterns and dynamics of social order, subnational governance and conflicts. As part of a group of researchers Jan developed systematic mixed method research designs, combining more inductive qualitative case-studies with deductive quantitative hypothesis-driven approaches.

Jan Koehler is researcher with focus on Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia and the Caucasus region. He received his first degree from the Freie Universität Berlin in Social Anthropology and did his PhD in Political Science on institution centred conflict research.
