The U.S. Agency for International Development's initiative to use science, technology, innovation and partnership to end extreme poverty is currently hiring a diversity of experienced technical professionals, as well as fresh graduates.
“We are looking for extraordinary talent,” Andrew Sisson, acting executive director of the U.S. Global Development Lab, told Devex. “We’re looking for talent that is unusual. We want people who will be diplomats and represent us in all kinds of roles. But we’re also looking for people who are out-of-the-box thinkers.”
Sisson, who in October will be returning to his role as USAID’s mission director in Indonesia, explained the diversity of talent within the Development Lab is what will make it unique and advised potential job seekers to network.
