I have ben out of academe for a while so my information is probably dated. The is a Niamatullahi Sufi center affiliated with the University of London.
In the US there is Carl Ernst at U of North Carolina and William Chittick at SUNY. Most of the Sufi-scholars are dead now. There are probably others worth studying and the way to find them might be to do a google scholar search of articles on Sufism. Stay away from McGill--stuffy place where I once studied. Who and where is your sheikh?
Best, Ken

you can focus on universities that offer degrees in Near eastern Studies and work with whoever is there which is what I did. There are many fine programs in the US and you can find them in the College Blue Book or try MESA online--Middle East Studies Association.
