Applications are open for the 2019-2021 ODI Fellowship Scheme funded by the Overseas Development Institute. The fellowship is open to candidates of all nationalities who have a master’s degree or Ph.D. in economics, econometrics, statistics or a related field. ODI’s prestigious Fellowship Scheme gives postgraduate economists and statisticians the chance to work in developing country public sectors as local civil servants on two-year contracts.

The Scheme has two objectives: to provide developing country governments with high-caliber junior economists and statisticians where there are gaps in local capacity, and to give postgraduate economists and statisticians practical work experience in a developing country.
