Liogier ran the Observatoire du religieux from 2006 to 2014, which is the first European Social Sciences Research Center to have studied both the rise of the new Salafism (new Islamic fundamentalism) among young western Muslims and the rise of new groups of young people using Islam as an anti-social flag in order to justify violent behavior. Liogier was the first expert to be interviewed by the French Parliament after the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack in January 2015.
He is also a research scholar attached to the University of Paris 10 (Paris-Nanterre). He serves as a board member on the scientific journal Social Compass, and is one of the twelve members of the International Commission for Peace Research at UNESCO. He has been invited as a visiting professor by several universities, mainly in North America, Europe, India and Australia. In 2015 he had a one-year appointment as visiting professor at the University of Louvain in Belgium in the Academic Chair of Prospective Anthropology (title of the course : « The Evolution of Mankind Narrative in the 21st Century related to the development of Technosciences »).
