The candidate should be competent in the appropriate research languages and conversant with the broader\, global history of Islamic religion and culture. \nThis is a tenure track position. The successful candidate will work closely with students in the Divinity School’s masters programs and the doctoral program in the Study of Religion. It is likely they will also teach undergraduates in the Comparative Study of Religion and graduate students in related departments of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

Openness to our growing program in ministry studies in Islam will be an advantage. \nApplicants should also be able to contribute to the Divinity School’s degree programs\, including its multi-religious Master of Divinity program\, and be familiar with forms of analysis that address race\, gender\, and social location. The doctoral degree must be held by June 30\, 2020. \nApplications should be made only online at: http://academicpositions.harvard.edu. A CV\, cover letter\, writing sample\, and the names of three references whom the School may wish to contact will be required of all candidates. Review of applications will begin in September 2019 and continue until the position is filled. Selected candidates may be invited to initial interviews at the American Academy of Religion Annual Meeting in San Diego\, CA\, this coming November. \nLetters of nomination are also welcome and should be sent to: Islamic Studies Search Committee\, c/o Faculty Search Office\, Harvard Divinity School\, 45 Francis Ave\, Divinity Hall 417\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, or to islamicsearch@hds.harvard.edu.
