Call for applications: Gender Innovation Lab, World Bank’s Africa Region


The Gender Innovation Lab (GIL) of the World Bank’s Africa Region 
conducts impact evaluations of women’s economic empowerment 
interventions in Sub-Saharan Africa. With the results of the impact 
evaluations, GIL aims to support the design of innovative, scalable 
interventions to address gender inequality in productive economic 
sectors across Africa. Through its capacity building program, GIL leads 
a Junior Fellowship Program for promising young economists and other 
social science researchers from Sub-Saharan Africa. The program is 
designed to serve as a stepping stone for junior researchers to make the 
transition from research assistants to lead investigators. Candidates 
who intend to apply for a doctoral program in a relevant discipline, as 
well as recent PhD graduates will be eligible for this fellowship.*There 
will be 2-3 GIL Research Analyst (Junior Fellowship) positions based in 
Washington, DC. We are looking for quantitative and qualitative research 
candidates. Applicants are requested to include their preference for the 
quantitative or qualitative position in their cover letter. Sociologists 
and students from inter-disciplinary programs with exposure to 
sociological theory and training in qualitative research methods are 
strongly encouraged to apply. *
