Call for Applications: Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies Visiting Fellowships

Application Deadline: January 9, 2024

Applications are invited for Visiting Fellowships tenable at the Centre for the academic year commencing in October 2024. The Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies promotes excellence in the study of Islam and Muslim societies.

Two Visiting Fellowships are offered to support research in any area that has relevance to the study of Islam or the Muslim world, particularly anthropology, economics, geography, history, international relations, law, literature, philosophy, politics, religion, sociology, science and society.

Applicants would normally be established academics but scholars at the postdoctoral level are also eligible.

The Visiting Fellowship provides a stipend of £5000, intended as a supplementary award, which may be held in conjunction with other research grants, stipends, or sabbatical salaries. Visiting Fellows will be provided with working space, membership of the Common Room including use of the Centre’s dining facilities, and assistance with finding residential accommodation.

Visiting Fellows are expected to devote their time to research and writing and to participate in the Centre’s academic activities.
