Description: The *HIVCorps* internship is targeted at pre-medical or pre-MPH students (including those graduating from post-baccalaureate programs); medical or nursing students who are able to delay their studies; and recent MPH graduates who wish to gain international experience. A broad range of work experience has proven useful in the past, including project management, public health, community outreach, study coordination, data management, and statistical analysis. Previous international experience is beneficial but not a requirement. Overall, 4-6 expatriate interns will be selected for 2007-2008. Work will be based in Lusaka, Zambia, though travel to various parts of the country may be required.
*Duration: 10-12 months *(with allowances made for medical / graduate school interviews if needed). All applicants must be available to start in mid-July 2007.
*Compensation: Interns receive a monthly stipend of $1000; this is expected to cover basic living expenses and international airfare to Zambia. Housing, costs related to program activities, and local and emergency evacuation insurance will also be provided.
*Application Procedures: Send your CV and a 1-page cover letter to Maria Lombe, administrative coordinator (maria.lombe@cidrz.org). Please emphasize your motivation for applying, general areas of interest in HIV and/or international health, and any relevant work experience. Deadline for applications is February 23, 2007. Phone interviews will be conducted for selected applicants; final decisions are expected in April 2007.
