CARE is seeking a Mary Jane Leader – Evaluation, Learning and Research Fellowship to assist the team in generating learning and evidence from CARE’s existing Sexual Reproductive and Maternal Health (SRMH) programs of what works for improving the sexual, reproductive and maternal health of women and girls.
As CARE’s SRMH program needs and priorities change throughout a project cycle, the specifics of a fellow’s scope of work would depend on timing and opportunities available. Fellowship scopes could include: rigorous research or analysis of existing program data for publication in a peer-reviewed publication; in-depth documentation and assessment of learning from a given program or approach; economic analysis to support scale-up of an intervention; or adaptation and development of tools and training materials. Deliverables from a fellowship could include a research paper for submission to a peer-reviewed journal or an in-depth evaluation brief, which would be shared widely across CARE and externally at the conclusion of the fellowship.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Assist with the analysis of the Maternal Health Alliance end-line data and publish papers
- Design an evaluation of the initiatives surrounding scale-up of the CARE’s Community Score Card (CSC) in Malawi or conduct a cost analysis
- Develop an adaptation of the CSC approach for adolescents and evaluate its effectiveness
- Develop training materials that could be used by our CSC technical experts to spread this innovation and assess its implementation
- Requires one year commitment
Primary Skills:
- Given the technical understanding and capacity required for such a fellowship, target candidates include recent graduates from a masters or doctoral program in public health, international development or similar field of study; or early- to mid-career evaluation researchers, statisticians or economists
- Fellowship would be located in CARE’s headquarters (Atlanta, Georgia or Washington, DC) and Fellows would need to be able and willing to spend extended periods of time in CARE country offices
- Candidates must be able to work independently and lead projects with minimal direction
- Excellent research and writing skills are required
- Candidate must demonstrate experience with either qualitative or quantitative analysis, as well as experience writing technical publications
