Did you miss the International Public Health Nutrition Fellowship info session?
Some take home points:
- This is the inaugural year of this fellowship.
- Recruitment is for this year – you must be done with your requirements by June. They are accepting 8 placements for this year; next year they hope to recruit 24!
- They are seeking those passionate about nutrition – but you do not need to know much about nutrition – the fellowship will teach you.
They want people who are:
- Innovative, adaptable, creative and have leadership ability – who want to utilize these in with organizations to make an impact on Global Nutrition policy & programs at all levels. They want all kinds of disciplines: Epi, behavior change, managers, data/research, policy oriented.
- For the 11 months (they pay all expenses – housing, meals, transport, insurance, plus after training and you are placed, a stipend of $1,000 per month for next 11 months that you can essentially put in the bank)
FINALLY – anyone with permission to work in the US will be considered (can be on OPT for international students)
This is a gateway position to jobs with Action Against Hunger, IMC, GOAL, Concern and more, like UN Agencies & UNICEF.
