In 1882 he became Hermann Nothnagel's assistant at the University of Vienna , where he qualified as a professor in pathology a year later . Since 1884 private lecturer , he followed the call of the University of Graz in 1887 to an associate professor for pediatrics . He was thus head of the university children's clinic.
From 1889 Jaksch worked at the Karl Ferdinand University in Prague as professor for internal medicine and head of the children's clinic. At his request, a modern clinic was planned, which was inaugurated in 1899. In the years 1894/95 and 1910/11 he served as dean of the medical faculty and in 1908/09 as rector of the university. In 1890 he was elected to the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina . His successor in Prague was Wilhelm Nonnenbruch , who later went to Frankfurt am Main.
Jaksch is the author and co-author of several standard medical works. His book Clinical Diagnostics of Internal Diseases using Bacteriological, Chemical and Microscopic Examination Methods, first published in 1887, was translated into six languages in its 6th edition in 1907. The anemia pseudoleucaemica infantum (1889) bears his name.
Jaksch married Adele von Haerdtl (1867–1944) in Vienna in 1882 , with whom he had a son and three daughters.
