The ODI Fellowship Scheme is now open for applications. The Scheme places young and highly motivated economists and statisticians in public sector posts in developing country governments on two-year contracts. The two streams we are recruiting for are Economics and Statistics. Applicants can apply for either or both of these streams provided they are suitably qualified.
ODI Fellows are employed by the governments they work for not ODI and work as local civil servants reporting to local supervisors. Fellows work in a wide range of institutions from finance and planning ministries to ministries of health and education, as well as central banks, statistics offices, and regulatory bodies. The Scheme currently has over 100 Fellows in 28 countries, mostly low-income or high poverty countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, the Pacific and the Western Balkans.
As well as the usual candidates, this year the Scheme is looking to attract Ph.D. candidates able to work in the research departments of central banks, candidates with at least three years of uninterrupted work experience for a post in the Royal Monetary Authority in Bhutan, and candidates with deeper knowledge of mining finance for a post in Eritrea.
