I joined the research faculty of the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS) in 1999. In October 2004, I joined the Department of International Relations, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh as a Lecturer. My professional affiliation still remains with this Department at a position of Assistant Professor. Currently, I am a doctoral student at the Asia Institute of the University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. My study at the University of Melbourne has been enabled by the Endeavour Postgraduate Award (2011) awarded by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, Australian government. Politics of Islam is my main research interest. I have written articles on this area which have appeared in peer reviewed journals. My ongoing PhD research focuses on the politics of Islamic identity in Bangladesh and the influence of this issue on its foreign policy.
