We are pleased to confirm that the University of Oxford Mathematics Institute is running the Mfano Africa mentorship scheme in 2023. This programme aims to support and encourage a small cohort of promising pre-PhD students, based in sub-Saharan Africa, who hope to continue PhD study within mathematical sciences.
The part-time online programme will run for around 8 weeks in summer 2023, and will be delivered on-line. The successful students will be matched with a mentor at the University of Oxford based on mutual research interests, to work on a mini-project during a series of 1:1 online meeting in order to build up research experience. Students will also be provided with training on developing writing skills and guidance on making PhD applications, plus networking events. A £230 (GBP) stipend will be available to successful students to support any associated costs for internet data, printing and stationery, etc.
Interested Mfano Africa-Oxford mentees should
• have completed a mathematical sciences BA or BSc degree;
• demonstrate high academic excellence and give evidence of striving to improve;
• be motivated for further study.
If you wish to apply, please complete an online application form by 29 May 2023.
