      Chevening Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies Fellowship (OCIS) and OCIS Abdullah Gül FellowshipAbout

      The Chevening Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) Fellowships are aimed at mid-career academics or professionals who are dedicated to the promotion of academic activities which encourage a more informed understanding of the culture and civilisation of Islam and contemporary Muslim societies.

      The following fellowships are a collaboration between the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and OCIS:

      • Chevening OCIS Fellowship
      • Chevening OCIS Abdullah Gül Fellowship

      Course/programme structure

      Fellows will undertake a 6-month period of self-directed research focusing on their own project on the culture and civilisation of Islam and contemporary Muslim societies in a global context.

      Fellows will benefit from meeting a multi-disciplinary group of scholars focusing on the Islamic world and have the opportunity to develop contacts with relevant individuals, discuss issues relating to the Islamic world, including Islamic history, classical Islamic sciences, economics and Islamic finance, and the study of Muslims in the West. Fellows will contribute to the Centre’s objective to encourage and promote sustained dialogue and collaboration within the global academic community of the culture and civilisation of Islam and contemporary Muslim societies.

      OCIS is a Recognized Independent Centre for the University of Oxford and provides a meeting point for the Western and Islamic worlds of learning.

      This fellowship programme will commence in October 2021. Fellows will need to develop their own research project to focus on during their fellowship prior to arriving in the UK.

      Fellows must reside in Oxford for the duration of their award. OCIS can provide information about accommodation options in Oxford upon selection.

      • Six-month period of research at OCIS.
      • Living expenses for the duration of the fellowship.
      • Return economy airfare from home country to the UK.
      • Allowance package for research-related activities.
      • Access to a programme of cultural events and activities organised by the FCDO and the Chevening Secretariat.

      The Chevening OCIS Abdullah Gül Fellowship is available to applicants from Turkey.

      To be eligible for a Chevening OCIS Fellowship, you must:

      • Demonstrate the potential to rise to a position of leadership and influence
      • Demonstrate the personal, intellectual and interpersonal attributes reflecting this potential
      • Be a citizen of Afghanistan, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Libya, Malaysia, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Philippines, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, or Uzbekistan
      • Return to country of your citizenship at the end of the period of the fellowship

      Please note that applicants who have previously received financial benefit from a HMG-funded scholarship or fellowship are eligible to apply after a period of five years following the completion of their first HMG funded award. In these cases, applicants will be required to demonstrate their career progression from that point.

      Application requirement

      Applicants should be prepared to outline a short proposal on the area of academic research they would like to conduct at the time of application submission. The proposal should include a main research question and how the applicant intends to conduct this research while in residence at the Centre.
