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.
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 between May and June (Trinity term). During the Fellowship, AfOx Fellows are associated with a Department and a College within the University. To apply for a fellowship, all applicants must have an Oxford-based researcher named as their collaborator on their application.
