Read more about what is it like to work with us in our interviews with former Summer Associates AshleyandDaniela .
Position Description & Key Responsibilities
As a summer associate you will have the opportunity to work on a mix of the following:
A specific research project, from design, through to field work and analysis;
An internal initiative or research project; and/or
A specific area of business development.

At Laterite, we tend to work simultaneously on a variety of short term to medium term research projects. As a Summer Associate, you will be assigned to one research project to be determined before you start depending on your interests, timing and Laterite’s needs.
This is a challenging position that will provide you with hands-on experience conducting rigorous research in complex environments. You will get the opportunity to apply the tools and techniques you learned in your development, econometrics and data science classes. The position will help you put your curriculum into context, give you ideas for your thesis, and hopefully also some thoughts on professional opportunities after you finish your studies.
Profile
Our ideal candidates are master students or recent graduates that are entrepreneurial, creative, passionate about international development, structured in their thinking with strong management and technical research skills. They will be able to effectively solve problems and adapt to changing situations.
Expected Qualifications
A master student or recent graduate
Strong oral and written communication skills in English (French, Kinyarwanda, Swahili or Amharic is a plus)
Good interpersonal skills
Strong quantitative skills: able to analyze large datasets, conduct statistical analysis and design sampling frames
Knowledge of Stata, R or Python
Experience in international development, public policy economic and social research or consulting would be a plus but is not required.

Timeline
Dates are flexible and can be decided between Laterite and the summer associate. We expect the associate to work with us for at least 2 months.
Logistics
This assignment will either be based in Kigali, Nairobi or Addis Ababa. All cities offer all the enjoyment and facilities of a capital, including several supermarkets and great restaurants. It is easy to find affordable housing options in shared houses and the Laterite team will do its best to help you with getting settled. All cities offer a safe environment to live and work in.
Compensation
We will offer the associate stipend of US$800 per month (pro-rata). We will not pay for flights to East Africa and expect the candidate to be covered by his/her own health insurance policy throughout the assignment. Proof of appropriate health coverage is a pre-requisite.
