Overview

The University of Oxford invites applications for the fully funded AfOx Visiting Fellowship Programme. The fellowship offers a year-long opportunity for African researchers holding an advanced degree to pursue independent academic research on forced migration. The programme is run in partnership with the Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) at the University of Oxford and supports research on the causes, consequences, and responses to forced migration.

The fellowship is aimed at African researchers with an advanced degree who are actively affiliated with an African academic or research institution. The fellowship period extends from September to August, including 10 months of virtual engagement and a 2-month residency at Oxford during Trinity Term (April–June). Applications from people affected by displacement—including asylum seekers, refugees, internally displaced persons, or those under temporary protection—are strongly encouraged.

Support is available throughout the application process, including assistance with identifying research collaborators. For comprehensive information and application details, applicants are directed to the AfOx Visiting Fellowship Programme webpage.
