The Africa Oxford Initiative (AfOx) is a cross university platform to support the development of equitable collaborations in research and teaching between staff at African institutions and collaborators in University of Oxford. AfOx seeks to appoint visiting fellows from universities and research institutions in Africa at partner colleges in The University of Oxford.
The fellowship aims to facilitate collaboration, as well as to foster research and teaching excellence in African institutions and in The University of Oxford. The fellowship is for a duration of 4-6 weeks, to be taken up from July to September, 2018 - although in exceptional circumstances, start dates outside this time period will be considered.
Fellows will be provided with accommodation, meals and temporary membership of Senior Common Rooms at their host colleges for the period of residency. The fellowship will also include airfare, visa fees and a maintenance allowance.
Applicants should be legal residents of an African country, holding an appointment in an academic or research institution in an African country. They may already have established links with an Oxford collaborator or, alternatively, can search the AfOx database for potential collaborators and contact them before making the application.
Application Deadline: Midnight, 11th March, 2018.
