AERC/Journal of African Economies, Visiting Scholars Programme
Objectives
The AERC/Journal of African Economies Visiting Scholars Programme provides for short-term visiting fellowships to the Centre for the Study of African Economies at the University of Oxford. The programme will enable AERC network members to visit Oxford and distill a publishable journal article from their recent research.It is intended that the fellowship will support independent research and study while in Oxford. Visiting fellows will interact with scholars and participate in the intellectual life of the Centre, the Department of Economics and St Antony’s College. Fellows are expected to attend all CSAE seminars and to present at least one seminar on their own research while in Oxford.
Each visit would normally last for a period of two months, coinciding with one academic term at Oxford.

- Hold a PhD in Economics;
- Be affiliated with an academic institution or research centre located in sub-Saharan Africa;

- A letter stating what the applicant wishes to do while at Oxford including proposed title(s) of paper(s) they intend to write and outlines if available;

Visiting fellows will be provided with a desk and computer in shared office space, and with access to the internet and university libraries.
