Deadline: July 31, 2019.

CDR is home to a great group of people, who work together to promote our mission. Our programs help: bring universities, their students and faculty to the forefront of development work; facilitate the translation of research to impact, for global development across regions + sectors; improve USAID’s use of research; generate evidence through innovative research approaches; overcome barriers that researchers and institutions in low and middle income countries face in conducting research; and build in-country capacity for research though creative partnerships.

CDR is seeking up to two eInterns to assist with a variety of functions across the Center’s portfolio. CDR will develop a plan based on the needs of Center teams and interests of the eIntern(s). We expect the eIntern(s) will receive broad exposure to CDR’s teams and programming priorities, and participate in diverse project tasks, ranging from short-term to long-term projects. This experience is a fantastic opportunity for motivated eIntern(s) to learn about and contribute to the use of science and research in international development programming.
