The objective of the AERC Internship Programme is to develop and prepare recent postgraduates to take up employment opportunities that come up in research, policy making and capacity building institutions. The Internship Programme also provides participants with an excellent opportunity to acquire work-place experience, expand knowledge, refine career goals and build professional networks, mentors and contacts. The interns will in return support the research, capacity building and policy outreach agenda of AERC. The pool of interns will provide the AERC with potential candidates for job opportunities that may arise in the future. The Internship Programme is for a duration of 3 to 6 months after which the candidates are released to pursue opportunities in the wider job market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Eligibility Requirements<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><b><i>The AERC aims to select candidates with a Master\u2019s degree in any one the following disciplines:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Economics; Statistics; Agricultural Economics; Development Studies; Mathematics; or Gender Studies.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Governance and Knowledge Management.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General Support Services: Accounting and Finance Administration; Procurement; or HR Management.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ICT<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communication &amp; External Relations<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Participants in the programme are selected on a competitive basis, reflecting the position needs of the AERC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>The following are the minimum requirements for internship positions:<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aged 30 and below at point of submitting application<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holds a minimum of a master\u2019s degree or its equivalent from a recognized university; and is applying for the internship within one year of having obtained a master\u2019s degree<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is a Kenyan citizen or has legal document allowing him\/her to work in Kenya<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ability to communicate effectively (written and oral) in English, with a working knowledge of another language (e.g. proficiency in French is an added advantage).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Female candidates are encouraged to apply.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>In addition to the above selection criteria, preference will be given to candidates who demonstrate the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rapid turnaround of work<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good communication skills<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Terms and conditions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interns will be responsible for their travel (in case of on-site internship) to and from the AERC\u2019s office location, as well as their upkeep.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interns will be responsible for their medical insurance coverage during the period of their internship.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The internship will be authorized only once for any candidate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eligible interns will receive a monthly stipend.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interns may be authorized to participate in an official AERC assignment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internships will take place at the AERC&#8217;s headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya; either remotely or on-site depending on the needs of the hiring departments.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interns must have attained at least a Master\u2019s degree in their area of expertise from a recognized university.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>How to Apply &#8211; Online application<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Due to the high volume of responses received, only electronic confirmations of receipt will be issued.
