KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 (Bernama) -- The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) is collaborating with the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) to launch the Sultan Nazrin Shah Fellowship, which is aimed at driving thought leadership and innovation in Islamic finance.
SC chairman Datuk Mohammad Faiz Azmi said as a global leader in Islamic finance, the capital market regulator is committed to shaping the future of the industry through knowledge, innovation, and collaboration.
“This fellowship will serve as a catalyst for pioneering research and fresh ideas to drive meaningful progress in Islamic finance,” he said in a statement today.
The Sultan Nazrin Shah Fellowship offers the selected fellow a unique opportunity to work and engage with global scholars and industry leaders to shape the future of Islamic finance.
Beyond research on emerging trends and innovations, the fellowship will focus on strengthening strategic partnerships, joint projects, and knowledge sharing for the advancement of the industry, the statement said.
The ideal candidate should possess a doctorate in a relevant field with extensive research experience. Experience in securing funding for research projects and partnership development would be an added advantage, it said.
The full-time fellowship will be based at OCIS, with placement expected to begin by the third quarter of 2025 in line with OCIS’s academic year.
