Deadline: 31 October 2024

The Oppenheimer Memorial Trust (OMT) is offering its Harry Oppenheimer Fellowship Award to recognise the endeavours of world-class researchers and has helped fund critical and important research that has far-reaching impact.

The award was established in 2001 to commemorate his efforts to support human and intellectual development, and to advance scholarship and encourage ideas.

Award Information

  • The award is intended to provide leading academics with the freedom and flexibility to pursue their ideas, and take their thinking to another level. It has a monetary value of R2.5 million.

Who they Award?

  • The fellowship is awarded to scholars of the highest calibre who are engaged in cutting-edge and internationally significant research that has particular application to the advancement of knowledge, teaching, research and development in South Africa and beyond.
  • They encourage applications from all disciplines.
  • And over the years, have awarded excellence in the fields from biochemistry and biology, to engineering, history, immunology, mathematics, neuropsychology, philosophy and ethics, to zoology.

Eligibility Criteria

  • The Trust will consider candidates who:
    • Are residents of South Africa (age is not a factor in selection)
    • Are outstanding achievers and very well established in their field
    • Are regarded as leading scholars internationally, have undertaken advanced research for many years and have a track record of sustained intellectual effort
    • Present submissions that describe a clearly focused and specific project that offers a ‘visionary idea’ that represents a paradigm shift in current thinking, seeks to make important discoveries and contributes significantly to new knowledge
    • Demonstrate a commitment to transferring skills and building capacity in South Africa
  • Special consideration will also be given to the following points:
    • The value of the proposed work: its particular application to teaching, research and development in South Africa; its potential to push the frontiers of knowledge in the given field or area of interest; its contribution to the advancement or application of knowledge in the service of society
    • The coherence and practicability of the proposed programme and its feasibility within the limit set for the Award and the given timeframe of approximately one year
    • The candidate’s proven achievement and his or her ability to benefit from the use of the Award
    • By proven achievement the Trust would be looking for candidates who have: attracted research funding on a competitive basis; published peer-reviewed articles in high-impact journals or scholarly books through high-profile publishers; successfully supervised graduate students to completion; and secured invitations to, and seats on, international bodies and institution.
