PhD Position in Islamic/Middle Eastern Studies: Labour in the Modern State
vor 2 Monaten
We are seeking a highly motivated and qualified PhD student to join our research team at the Universität Bern, Department of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies (SACS). The successful candidate will be part of the TraIL project, a research initiative focused on the legal history of labour in Islamicate societies.
Project OverviewThe TraIL project aims to provide cutting-edge research on the legal history of labour in Islamicate societies, diversifying our understanding of labour through textual and digital methods of analysis. The project focuses on the intersection of labour and gender in Islamic legal traditions across a long historical span (from the 10th to the 20th century). The geographical focus will be on Egypt and the region of Bilād al-Shām (Greater Syria, which corresponds to modern Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, and Palestine).
Research Objectives- Identify and map concepts of work, labour, and related notions within the Islamic legal discourse.
- Explore how jurists discussed women's labour and how women dealt with their discussions.
- Investigate how industrialization influenced the legal understanding and conceptualization of labour.
- Conducting fieldwork in Egypt for an extended period (approximately six months total, with possibility of extension).
- Collaborating closely with TraIL project members and SACS colleagues.
- Co-organizing project workshops, conferences, and events.
- Contributing to the TraIL project database, the first relational database on labour in Islamicate societies.
- Participating in the project's communication strategy, including managing the project blog.
- Building academic networks with colleagues in Egypt.
- Presenting research at academic conferences.
- Attending project meetings and research colloquia.
- Completing a PhD in Islamic or Middle Eastern Studies.
- Fluency in written and spoken English and a very good knowledge of Arabic.
- A proven interest in current debates in gender and/or labour history and a willingness to be part of an interdisciplinary team and to work with and think critically about digital tools and methods.
- Previous experience of working with legal sources is an advantage.
The position is based in the Department of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies (SACS), within the unit 'Middle East and Muslim Societies.' The role is limited to a maximum of four years, and relocation to Bern is expected. We offer an enriching experience as part of an international and dynamic research team, with excellent facilities and working conditions adhering to cantonal standards. You will join a supportive, collegial environment with flexible working arrangements. The Universität Bern is dedicated to the principles of equality and diversity. We strongly encourage applications from individuals with migration background, LGBTIQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, People of Colour, and those from minority backgrounds in the Swiss context.
