Antonio Montañés Jiménez is a Fulbright researcher at the University of Miami (USA) and a researcher affiliated with the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography at the University of Oxford. Previously, he enjoyed a Margarita Salas postdoctoral scholarship at Oxford and at ISOR–Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

She wrote a doctoral thesis jointly awarded by the University of St Andrews and the Autonomous University of Barcelona, in which she explores the role of evangelical Pentecostal Christianity in the transformation of worldviews, values, gender ideals, patterns of sociability and notions of identity among the Spanish Roma population. Her thesis received funding from the Spanish Government's FPI national programme, the Banco Sabadell Foundation and the Ford Foundation/Apadrina la Ciencia, as well as broad academic recognition. Among the awards received are the Best Doctoral Thesis Award from the Spanish Society of Religious Studies, a UK Doctoral Research Award and the David Riches Medal for Postgraduate Research from the Ladislav Holy Memorial Trust of the University of St Andrews. Several articles derived from this research have been distinguished with the Arthur Maurice Hocart Prize from the Royal Anthropological Institute, the Marian Madison Young Scholars' Prize in Romani Studies from the Gypsy Lore Society and the Peter B. Clarke Memorial Essay Prize from SOCREL/BSA, among others.
His first postdoctoral research received two grants, one from the Economic and Social Research Council (UK Government) at the University of St Andrews and another from the European Next Generation/Margarita Salas programme (Spanish Government) at the University of Oxford/ISOR-UAB. The project focused on the political and religious experiences of the Roma community during the COVID-19 pandemic and included training Roma interlocutors in the production of academic knowledge. His innovative approach to collaborative knowledge generation with and for Roma communities was recognised with a Knowledge Frontiers grant from the British Academy, aimed at investigating collaborative methodologies with Roma Pentecostal musicians.

His second postdoctoral project, currently underway, investigates the diffusion of the Gospel of Prosperity among Latin American immigrants in Madrid (Spain) and Miami (USA). This project contributes to advancing the study of migration, religion, and borders.
