The ODI Fellowship scheme recruits intelligent, adventurous post-graduate economists to work in the public sectors of developing countries in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific on two-year placements. The scheme represents an exciting opportunity for recent or current post-graduates to undertake practical work in a developing country and assist in directly shaping national or sectoral policy. Fellows work in government ministries, central banks or regional organisations as economists or planning officers undertaking a range of assignments including: budgeting; macro-economic planning and forecasting; advising on regional and international trade issues; mainstreaming HIV/AIDS issues into wider government policy; advising on natural resource management; climate change finance; and overseeing privatisation programs.
At this public seminar, Susan Baron will discuss the fellowship scheme and provide details on the recruitment and application process for 2013-2015 posts. Matthew Morris will talk about his experience as an ODI Fellow in Papua New Guinea. Topics of discussion will include: objectives of the scheme; fellowship posts; entrance requirements; selection and recruitment; administrative and financial arrangements; and career prospects on conclusion.
If you are a recent or soon to be recent post-graduate in economics or a related field and are considering the next step in your career, we warmly invite you to come along and learn about, what could be, an exciting opportunity for you.
This event is hosted by the Development Policy Centre, Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU, with the Crawford School Student Association.
