Visiting fellowships, Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, Oxford University, UK

Research, Visiting and Work Exchange: OPHI engages with and learns from researchers in the global South and North. We welcome a limited number of academic visitors every year, whose work directly advances our current research agenda and who engage with OPHI’s ongoing studies.  Below please find the various categories of visitors and instructions on how to apply. Please keep in mind that funding is not normally available for visitors. Desk space, which is open plan, is also constrained.

Visiting Fellows. OPHI offers several positions for visiting researchers each year. We welcome applications from academic scholars, and other professionals, who wish to pursue their research in collaboration with OPHI staff. Visiting Fellows may be on sabbatical leave from their institution or sponsored by external organisations.
These positions are not open to students; however, postgraduate students can apply to be a visiting student.

Costs and funding. Affiliated Visiting Fellows contribute 1,200 GBP per term and receive an Oxford University card, which provides access to libraries, computing services and some College and University buildings, a university email address and desk space for the duration of their visit. These positions are normally non-stipendiary but full
or partial scholarships are sometimes available to visitors from developing countries. If you wish to be considered for such funding, please indicate this in your application and specify the areas that you would need assistance for, e.g. flights.

How to apply. Please send your curriculum vitae, the names and contact details of two referees, two samples of current or published work, a two-page proposal of the research you would advance and the anticipated output, with a note about how it relates to or builds on OPHI’s current research areas to ophi@qeh.ox.ac.uk.

Visiting Fellows normally stay with us for one or two terms. Please specify your proposed start and finish dates (or if these are flexible, the maximum and minimum duration).

Deadlines. There is a rolling application process, with three deadlines each year, on 1 December, 1 April and 1 September.

Applications received within each period will be assessed after the next closing date. Please send all applications to ophi@qeh.ox.ac.uk.
