The AfOx Visiting Fellowship Programme is designed to allow exceptional African researchers to build international networks and focus on a project of their choice in collaboration with Oxford-based scholars. The Fellowship is open to researchers across all academic fields. Fellows will be affiliated with the University of Oxford for 12 months, including ten months of virtual engagement and a two month in-person visit to Oxford during Trinity Term. To apply for a fellowship, all applicants must have an Oxford-based researcher named as their collaborator on their application.
Further information for applicants and Oxford researchers can be found in our guide for fellowship applicants and guide for fellowship applicants, and our guide for collaborators.
AfOx fellowships are open to all disciplines across all the University departments. We encourage applications across the full range of academic disciplines and to work with any researcher based at the University of Oxford.
