ICRH Research Intern
ICRH (International Centre for Reproductive Health - www.icrh.org) offers research internship opportunities to postgraduates considering a career in reproductive health research. The programme aims at exposing junior researchers to the various aspects of research with a focus on themes such as sexually transmitted infections, maternal and child health, sexual violence and family planning.
Structure of the programme
The programme starts with a 4-6 months internship at the ICRH-Ghent office, located at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of Ghent University. This will provide the intern with an environment that will encourage the development of research skills. The trainee will be supervised by ICRH’s Scientific Director (member of the faculty staff) and be involved together with other researchers in the centre’s normal research activities including proposal writing, project management, scientific analysis and article writing. Following the internship at ICRH-Ghent, the intern will have the opportunity to experience the implementation of field research in one of ICRH’s sister-organizations in Kenya (ICRH-K) or Mozambique (ICRH-M). The intern will be closely linked to the senior research staff of these organizations and be involved in fieldwork (e.g. data collection, implementation of interventions), scientific analysis and in the development of new projects. In addition, both ICRH-K and ICRH-M have strong links with local health facilities making it possible for the intern to observe and get an understanding of the functioning of health services in a low-income country. The stay in Kenya or Mozambique will last for 6 to 8 months.
