RSC-BIEA Fellowship for refugee /displaced scholars’

August 16, 2021

The Refugee-Led Research Hub (RLRH) at Oxford’s Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) is launching a 12-month fellowship for refugees and other displaced scholars who are interested in graduate-level study in the field of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies (RFMS). It will be run in collaboration with British Institute in Eastern Africa (BIEA). The fellowship will include teaching, mentorship, and professional development activities provided by specialists in the field. Activities will span three terms of study and research (Oct 2021–June 2022) followed by a 3- month professional placement with RLRH, RSC, BIEA, or other academic and research institutes. Fellows will hold affiliated membership statuses with both the RSC and BIEA, and will be awarded a certificate from University of Oxford upon completion. Fellows will receive a stipend of 750 USD per month for the duration of the fellowship
