The School of Critical Studies in the College of Arts and Humanities seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Islamic Studies.

Applications are invited from candidates with an appropriate record of academic achievement in Islamic Studies. We are looking for a candidate who will complement our existing strengths across teaching and research, and who will help develop this new subject area for our School.

The postholder will make a substantial and positive contribution to the strategic direction of the School and College through leading and contributing to research of an international standard, to high quality teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, in securing research funding, and in offering academic administration within the School and across the College of Arts and Humanities.

Islamic Studies sits within the Theology and Religious Studies subject area, alongside the School’s other subject areas of English Language and Linguistics, English Literature (and Creative Writing) and Scottish Literature. In its research, the School fosters excellent connections with collaborators across Glasgow and beyond, and an Islamic studies specialist will work actively and impactfully with local partners towards public engagement with their teaching and research. This appointment seeks to sustain our established expertise in Islamic Studies at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and the successful applicant will be central to maintaining University of Glasgow’s international contribution to the field and to Theology and Religious Studies more broadly.

We especially welcome applications from candidates with a Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework level 12 (PhD) in Islamic Studies or related disciplines including but not limited to theology and religious studies, history, sociology, cultural studies, literature, anthropology, philosophy, area studies. Candidates should have an established reputation in research through an impressive publication profile, and significant experience teaching and supervising both core modules and specialist topics within the subject area of theology and religious studies in a higher education context.

This post is full time and open ended.
