Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time

At Københavns Universitet, we are seeking a highly qualified postdoctoral researcher to join our team in the field of Islamic studies. The successful candidate will be working on a research project focusing on the intersection of law and Islam.

The postdoc will investigate how non-Muslims produce Islamic discourse, including the use of sharia in legal contexts. This involves analyzing court decisions, media debates, and academic literature to identify trends and patterns in the representation of Islam in Denmark and beyond.

As part of this project, the postdoc will develop new methodological tools for studying the complex relationships between religion, law, and culture. They will also collaborate with other researchers at Københavns Universitet to contribute to the development of a more nuanced understanding of Islamic studies.

We offer a dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment, excellent opportunities for professional development, and a competitive salary. If you have a strong background in Islamic studies, law, or sociology, and are passionate about exploring the intersections between these fields, we encourage you to apply.
