London, Greater London, United Kingdom University of East London Full time

We are looking for forward-thinking, innovative, curious, high-energy, self-aware people who are passionate about making a positive difference and who will thrive in an inclusive and diverse University community who are never not moving forwards.


The Centre for Justice, Law and Society (CJLS) based at the Royal Docks School of Business and Law, University of East London, wishes to recruit a fixed-term Research Associate to undertake directed research activity on the project 'Adducing Expert Evidence on Islamic Law in the Courts'.

This project will examine the role of expert witnesses in Islamic Law adduced in court cases involving Muslim parties.

The particular focus is on those reported cases in which the parties and/or courts have deployed/ordered expert evidence, ranging from Imams drawn from local mosques to academic experts in Islamic Law.

A database of such cases will be created.


Your main responsibilities will be to undertake directed research activity on legislation, policy initiatives and case law as part of a research team and under the direction of Qudsia Mirza as Principal Investigator.

You will also partake in undertaking directed research activity on the use of expert evidence on Islamic Law in UK cases as part of a research team and under the direction of the Principal Investigator.

You will also consolidate work and records, produced by others within the project and contribute to the delivery of a project by providing related research and administrative support in relation to project deliverables.

The University of East London is one of the most diverse and vibrant universities in the global capital.

Our pioneering and forward-thinking vision is making a positive and significant impact to the communities we serve, inspiring both our staff and students to reach their full potential.

Join us and #BeTheChange.


Born in 1898 to serve the skills needs of the 2nd industrial revolution, the University of East London is underway with its transformational 10-year Vision 2028 strategic plan led by our Vice-Chancellor & President, Professor Amanda Broderick, to advance Industry 4.0 careers-1st education.

We have a clear route-map to provide a springboard for the jobs and opportunities of the future; drive diversity in the 4.0 talent pipeline - working in partnership to promote talent wherever it is found; and to create an inclusive and sustainable, green future.
