Subject: PhD and Postdoc positions within research group on "Sufism and
Transnational Spirituality," Aarhus University
Applications are invited for one PhD position and one Postdoc position
within a new research group on "Sufism and Transnational Spirituality"
at Aarhus University, Denmark. Founded in 1928, Aarhus University is now
the second largest university in Denmark, with approximately 35,000
students and a staff of about 9,000.
The research group has not yet received funding, and any appointment is
therefore subject to funding being received. Successful applicants will
be encouraged to develop an individual research project dealing with
Sufism in both the West and the Muslim world (not just the West or just
the Muslim world). The positions involve some teaching duties, but these
are not onerous, and will start (subject to funding) in August 2009 or
August 2010.
Applications are invited from any relevant disciplinary background, but
candidates with a background in anthropology, Middle East/Islamic
studies, or religious studies are especially encouraged to apply.
Knowledge of Arabic or another appropriate language used in the Muslim
world will be a distinct advantage. Knowledge of Danish is not required,
and there are no restrictions concerning citizenship. Successful
applicants will be expected to base themselves in Aarhus for the
duration of their research, in either the Department of Anthropology and
Ethnography or the Department of the Study of Religion. Residence and
employment permits will be arranged by the university if necessary.
Remuneration will be in accordance with the appropriate Danish
Universities scale, and fieldwork expenses will be covered.=20
Applicants should email by August 22, 2008 a covering letter of no more
than two pages describing in outline a possible research project, a full
CV, and up to one writing sample, to Dr Nils Bubandt ([log in to unmask]
<blocked::mailto:[log in to unmask]> ), Department of Anthropology and
Ethnography, University of Aarhus, 8270 Hojbjerg, Denmark. Up to three
letters of recommendation may also be submitted, but given the short
time available before the deadline, such letters are not required. Any
enquiries may be sent in advance of application to either Dr Bubandt or
Dr Mark Sedgwick ([log in to unmask] <blocked::mailto:[log in to unmask]> ).
