I am leading a project called Demographic Data for Development at the Population Council. My colleagues and I are working with partners in Ghana, Senegal, and Namibia on several initiatives designed to increase data access and use among journalists. We need someone with a lot of energy and ideas to join the NYC-based team.
You should consider applying if any or all of the following describe you:
(1) You are a journalist with experience writing about health and development issues.
(2) You are crazy about Open Data and have the World Bank data app installed on your iPhone (iPhone not required). A burning passion to win the Apps for Development contest would not hurt either.
(3) You spend your free time tinkering with open source projects.
(4) You are a master at curriculum development and are excited to help African journalists learn more about how to use development data in their reporting.
There are a few core project management tasks that will be required, but the position will be shaped to fit the successful candidate.
Please apply through the Council website.
