He remained in that position until Hebra died in 1880: That year Jarisch was habilitated for dermatology and became head of the dermatological department of the Wiener allgemeine Poliklinik. In 1888 he became ausserordentlicher Professor of dermatology and syphilology at Innsbruck. In 1892 he moved to the same position in Graz, where he was promoted to full professorship in 1901. The following year he died of typhoid fever after a brief illness.
