We are interested in receiving inquiries about research fellowships that focus on late medieval and early modern (‘postclassical’) Islamic history and thought at any time. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact us early on. Please note that all applications have to be approved by the Faculty of Oriental Studies and the Humanities Division at the University of Oxford, which only meet during term time. Usually a decision will be reached within 3 months; decisions about enquiries made over the summer vacation may take longer.  Informal enquires are encouraged and may be made to Dr Judith Pfeiffer (email: judith.pfeiffer@orinst.ox.ac.uk).
