Research Fellowships

We seek two individuals for two Associate and/or Senior Associate Research Fellows who are recent PhD graduates or those with similar experience who are interested in a term-limited research position with opportunities for mentorship, publication, and other professional development that may be similar to other postdoctoral fellowship opportunities.  Research Fellows are responsible for coordinating research portfolios, supervising project staff, managing budgets, building and strengthening project partnerships, and contributing to grant-writing, donor reporting, study design, and academic publication. Candidates should have experience managing multi-partner projects, as well as a strong quantitative research background and exposure to qualitative research methods and analyses. 

These positions are term-limited (one year, with the possibility of a second year pending funding availability) and Ibis is committed to supporting professional development and transition planning during the tenure of these roles. Research Fellows will have opportunities for mentorship and conference attendance relevant to their portfolio of work. Candidates may travel up to 25% of their time and should possess the interest and ability to represent Ibis in professional settings, the media, and policy discussions.

Employees within commuting distance of the Oakland or Cambridge office work in-office part of the week. Applications from candidates who would work remotely from another US location will also be considered. Applications, available here, will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Priority consideration will be given to applications received by July 10, 2026. 

Internships at Ibis

We hire interns to work with us in our US and RSA offices during two terms each year: Winter and Summer, with each internship lasting approximately ten weeks. Generally, we post internship applications in February/March and October to recruit for the upcoming term. A modest stipend is available, though the exact amount is dependent on funding availability. We also welcome applications from students receiving work study or practicum/school credit.
