I’m pleased to announce that PRB is accepting applications for its prestigious International Programs Fellowship at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The Fellowship is a full-time position lasting for two years and will begin in summer 2024.
The Fellow will work within USAID’s Office of Population and Reproductive Health located in Washington, D.C.

The Fellowship is intended for recent graduates with a B.A. or B.S. by June 2024; candidates with advanced degrees are ineligible and should not apply.
