Overview
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.
Details
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 April to 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.
AfOx fellowships are offered through a range of partnerships which are listed below. To apply for the fellowship please read the partner description below and align your application to the partners.
Applicants for the improving equitable access to healthcare fellowship can apply to work with a collaborator in any Oxford department but will need to have a project in the area of improving equitable access to healthcare in low- and middle-income countries.
We strongly encourage applications from female and underrepresented researchers. AfOx fellows have developed long-term partnerships with colleagues in Oxford, which have led to significant research outcomes, including joint publications, new research projects, breakthroughs in engagement with African policy-makers and substantial research funding. Through the programme, African scholars have made significant contributions to the intellectual and social life of Oxford while simultaneously gaining opportunities for accessing the range of resources, knowledge and expertise in the University.

Applications are open until 11:59AM (UK time) on the 6th June 2025.
