The USAID Research and Innovation Fellowships http://www.usaid.gov/rifellowships program is seeking potential fellows interested in international development-related research opportunities in Public Management and Human Capital Management in Colombia, hosted by the Alberto Lleras Camargo School of Government at Universidad de los Andes in Bogota. The fellow will join an interdisciplinary research team dedicated to propose new guidelines to reform the human capital management policy in Colombia´s public sector.
