RA Position on R+S Project at Bristol

You will work on an ESRC/AHRC funded project on Muslim Participation in Contemporary Governance (funded within the ESRC/AHRC Religion and Society Programme).

This 30-month qualitative research project investigates the emerging significance of Muslim religious values, practices and engagement within contemporary governance in the UK. It explores: how current government strategies and policies relating to citizenship recognise and respond to Muslim religious difference; how participatory forms of governance engage with Muslim groups, religious values and identities; and the impact of Muslims' participation in governance on policy processes and outcomes and for the organisation of and relations between Muslim civil society organisations more broadly. The research will be based on analysis of policy documents and qualitative research on participatory governance initiatives at national and local levels.

You will join a research team, based at the University of Bristol, comprising Dr Therese O'Toole (PI), Professor Tariq Modood (CI), Dr Nasar Meer (University of Southampton) and a Research Assistant (to be appointed).  You will be a member of the University Research Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship and will participate fully in the activities of the Department of Sociology. You should have research interests in public and governance discourses relating to Muslims and Islam within the UK, have practical research experience of qualitative research methods, and either hold, or be close to completing, a doctorate.
