I'm super excited about this new fellowship opportunity in Egypt. We're aiming to tap into the large group of mid-career professionals in other fields who may be interested in bringing their skills to development research.
🚨 Exciting opportunity! J-PAL MENA at AUC is launching the “Emerging Research Manager Fellowship” — a 6-month paid program designed for experienced managers to fast-track their careers in development research through randomized controlled trials (RCTs). (1/2)
