ODI Fellowship Scheme 2014 applications close 17 December 2013!
The ODI Fellowship Scheme has two objectives:
- to provide governments of developing countries with high-calibre junior professional economists and statisticians where gaps in local capacity exist,
- to provide postgraduate economists and statisticians with practical work experience in a developing country.
The ODI Fellowship Scheme is open to candidates of all nationalities who have a master's degree or PhD in economics, econometrics, statistics or a related field. Suitable specialised qualifications at a postgraduate level include agricultural economics, environmental economics, international economics, health economics, development economics, econometrics and statistics. For those studying for a postgraduate degree at the time of application, the award of a Fellowship is conditional upon the successful completion of the postgraduate degree. Applicants must be willing to commit to a two-year posting in any of the countries that participate in the scheme. Applications are strengthened by a demonstrable interest in development, relevant work or voluntary experience in a developing country, language competence in French, Portuguese or Swahili, and strong computer skills.
If you are a current or recent postgraduate in Economics with an interest in working in development in Africa, the Caribbean or Pacific islands, find out more at http://www.odi.org.uk/fellowship-scheme.
