Read more about the ‘Non-Muslim Islam’-project here: Jesper Petersen — Independent Research Fund (dff.dk) Introduction See the research article “The Case for Studying Non-Muslim Islam” for a detailed explanation of non-Muslim Islam. About the postdoctoral position Furthermore, the postdoc will investigate how non-Muslim Islam is produced in Danish courts at all levels and in the European Court of Human Rights, the consequences for Muslim citizens, and the epistemological qualifications of these Islam productions. A good example of this can be found in Refah Partisi and Others v. Turkey (2003) in which the European Court of Human Rights stated that sharia is “stable”, “invariable”. However, this contradicts core beliefs within the Islamic legal tradition, and thus, a discrepancy between Muslim sharia and the sharia of the European Court of Human Rights emerged. Fluency in Danish is a requirement. Required qualifications The postdoc will be required to work interdisciplinary in law and humanities. Knowledge about sharia, Islamic studies, history of religions, and discourse theory are an advantage but not a requirement. In the overall assessment, emphasis will be placed on the applicant’s research and teaching potential. Special emphasis will be placed on the applicant’s ambition to work with and develop the concept non-Muslim Islam within law.
