Le centre d’études du moyen-Orient de Brown University propose un contrat de recherche postdoctorale de deux ans sur la culture et la société arabe moderne.

The ideal candidate will be fluent in Arabic, have extensive field experience in the Arab world, and be familiar with global development and political discourses on modern movements in the Middle East and beyond.

As a significant new university initiative, Middle East Studies at Brown seeks to make knowledge production on the Middle East part of the DNA of Brown by creating partnerships across areas and disciplines. We encourage candidates able to work in an interdisciplinary environment and who deploy a range of methodologies in their research and teaching. The successful candidate will be housed at the relevant disciplinary department and/or at the Watson Institute.
