IDinsight – Global Graduate Student Summer Internship (paid)
IDinsight
Locations:
Lusaka, Zambia
Nairobi, Kenya
Vijayawada AP, India
Delhi, India
We seek leaders who are passionate about making a difference, possess exceptional analytical skills, and thrive in an entrepreneurial, developing country setting. The ideal intern would be interested in joining IDinsight in a full-time role in the future and would take advantage of the internship to identify a potential long-term role in the organization. Successful interns are highly likely to be considered for roles on IDinsight’s leadership team upon graduation.
To maximize learning for the intern and contribution to IDinsight, the internship will be tailored to the specific interests and skills of the intern rather than committed to certain projects at this time. The internship will likely involve a semi-autonomous project within a larger client engagement, which the intern will be responsible for leading with minimal to moderate support from supervisors. Potential projects will be discussed during the interview process.
The intern will be based in one of IDinsight’s offices in India or sub-Saharan Africa for a period of 8-10 weeks. The exact project assigned to the intern will be the result of conversations between the intern and his/her IDinsight supervisor to ensure that it is carefully designed to meet the interests and skills of the intern and the need of the organization. Some examples of the types of projects may include (but are certainly not limited to) the following:
- Develop IDinsight’s evaluation plan for an agricultural impact evaluation.
- Create data collection tools for a water, sanitation, and health survey.
- Analyze endline data for a quasi-experimental education study.
- Present findings from an impact evaluation to IDinsight government clients.
The intern will receive significant support and mentorship from IDinsight leadership.
