Firoz Lalji Centre for Africa
Graduate Intern
Salary is competitive and not less than £26,533 pa inclusive of London allowance.
The Firoz Lalji Centre for Africa’s (FLCA) research programme is expanding rapidly and currently holds twelve research grants varying in size and scope. The Centre requires project management processes to be refined and software to be identified for managing the day-to-day tasks for supporting research grants and for monitoring and evaluation. The Centre is looking to recruit a proactive graduate intern that has an interest in project management, project management software, and monitoring and evaluation work.
The Centre promotes independent academic research and teaching, open and issue-oriented debate, and evidence-based policy making across LSE. FLCA accomplishes this by connecting different social science disciplines and by working in partnership with Africa bringing African voices to the global debate.
The Centre currently holds 12 research grants that all have competing milestones and deadlines. The Centre is continuing to expand its research grants programme and there is a need for greater organisational capacity to be developed and for project management software to be introduced to help deliver effective monitoring, evaluation and reporting. The graduate intern will be part of the core Centre staff, and as such will be expected to contribute to new and ongoing initiatives as they develop. The Centre is looking for a capable, technologically savvy graduate who can investigate and introduce project management processes and software that is efficient and effective for all Centre staff to use. The ideal candidate will possess strong organisational skills, knowledge of project cycles and procedures to ensure effective and timely delivery of project milestones, and have the ability to learn and understand software requirements and implementation.
We offer an occupational pension scheme, generous annual leave and excellent training and development opportunities.
