Postdoctoral Research Associate in Social Anthropology: Muslim-Jewish encounters, Durham University, Durham, UK. June 14, 2021.
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Social Anthropology with a particular emphasis on urban ethnography and inter-community encounters in the context of Muslim and Jewish populations. The post is part of the project ‘Muslim-Jewish encounter, diversity and distance in urban Europe (ENCOUNTERS)’, jointly funded by the ESRC, ANR and DFG. ENCOUNTERS is led by Dr Ben Gidley (Birkbeck) and brings together a multidisciplinary team of academics to explore intercultural, interethnic and interreligious interactions in European urban contexts, as exemplified in Muslim-Jewish relations, in and across two cities in each of France (Paris and Strasbourg), Germany (Berlin and Frankfurt) and the UK (London and Manchester). The Durham University part of the project is funded by the ESRC and is led by Prof Yulia Egorova, the Co-Investigator on the UK-based part of ENCOUNTERS.
The successful applicant will be expected to deliver ethnographic fieldwork in Manchester, to contribute to data analysis, to the production of outputs, and organisation of team meetings as required by the project.
