Fixed term contract until 30 June 2023

The University of Birmingham is now recruiting a postdoctoral Research Fellow in Islamic Philosophy of Religion in the School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion. This role has been created as part of the Global Philosophy of Religion Project led by Professor Yujin Nagasawa. 

The Global Philosophy of Religion Project is a major international initiative to promote research in the philosophy of religion, addressing underrepresented religious traditions and geographical regions. It is supported by funding from the John Templeton Foundation at the University of Birmingham. For more information, please see the project website: http://www.global-philosophy.org 

The Research Fellow in Islamic Philosophy of Religion will be a full-time, fixed-term appointment until 30 June 2023. The appointee will investigate central topics in the philosophy of religion—such as the existence and nature of deities, death and immortality, and evil and suffering in the world—from an Islamic perspective. The Research Fellow will contribute to the wider activity of the project, including the publication of books and papers arising from project research and the organisation of conferences and other academic events, and may also be involved in the supervision of students. As a member of the School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion, the Research Fellow will join a lively and flourishing research community in a collegiate and highly ambitious environment.
