ERC Postdoctoral Researcher
Oxford University Department for Continuing Education (OUDCE) is seeking to appoint an ERC Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Invisible East research programme.
You will be reporting to the Principal Investigator (PI) Dr Arezou Azad and be member of the Invisible East research programme. The project explores the nuances of Islamisation during the first 500 years of Islamic rule in the Islamicate East (a vast area that stretches from Islam to Tibet and includes parts of the modern states of Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and of the wider Central Asian region). Project activities include the analysis and digitisation of a variety of texts, principally documents written in Persian and Arabic, most of which reflect everyday, local use – from receipts to personal letters to legal opinions – and others are literary in nature.
This is a full-time position (part-time hours, a minimum of 0.8FTE, will be considered), available on a fixed-term contract.
To make informal enquiries about the post please contact arezou.azad@ames.ox.ac.uk
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Monday 25 March 2024.
