INDIA FELLOW
In order to keep pace with our expanding work in India, Dimagi is recruiting for its fellow program. This is an unpaid opportunity for those interested in mobile technologies who want to spend 12 months taking responsibility for the implementation of one or more of our public health projects across the country.
As a fellow, you will travel extensively in India to help deploy CommCare[2], a mobile application for community health workers . We have an extensive range of partner organizations across 8 states in India, many whose names you are already familiar with. Your work will include managing deployments, preparing data collection tools, leading trainings, communicating with current and potential partners, conducting research, and providing support. Depending on interest and ability, we also have opportunities in monitoring and evaluation, public health and social sciences research, writing, marketing, and design. You’ll join our team of international fellows and share lessons learned and expertise from across the globe.
This is a competitive program for individuals with strong organizational, communication, and leadership potential who are self-directed and comfortable taking the lead on one or more of our projects in India. While relevant experience is a factor, we are primarily looking for motivated, independent individuals who are excited by the chance to make a difference in the early stages of new projects in India. In return, you’ll receive valuable leadership experience overseas and a rare opportunity to gain firsthand perspective on the development sector in India through a cross-section of NGOs both large and small.
This is an unpaid fellowship; however, each fellow will receive a stipend to cover cost of living, all travel expenses, and healthcare. We typically require a 12 month commitment.
