The AfOx Visiting Fellowship Programme offers an exciting opportunity for exceptional African researchers to collaborate with Oxford-based scholars while advancing their own projects. This 12-month fellowship allows fellows to build international research networks, gain exposure to Oxford’s world-class resources, and enhance their leadership skills.
During the fellowship, fellows will spend 10 months engaging virtually with Oxford researchers, followed by a 2-month in-person residency at the University of Oxford in the Trinity term (May-June). Fellows will be affiliated with a Department and College at Oxford, working closely with an Oxford-based researcher, who must be named as a collaborator in the application.

-
Virtual Engagement: Fellows will have remote access to Oxford’s resources, including library access, as well as support in strengthening their research leadership.

In-Person Residency: Fellows will receive accommodation during their 2-month stay at Oxford, along with a temporary University card for access to Oxford facilities.
