Jahn acquired French nationality in May 1980. In 2003, he returned to Taiwan, serving as distinguished research fellow affiliated with the Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica from August 2004 to 2010. He left Academia Sinica to take an appointment at NTU, as distinguished chair professor of the department of geosciences. Between 2006 and 2016, Jahn was chief editor of the Journal of Asian Earth Sciences. Over the course of his career, Jahn was granted fellowship by the Mineralogical Society of America and Geological Society of America in 2004, followed by the Geochemical Society and European Association of Geochemistry in 2006. In 2012, Jahn was elected a member of Academia Sinica. The next year, the French government named Jahn a chevalier of the ordre des Palmes Académiques.
