Partner with us to place a talented, paid data science intern in your organisation for three months. We fund the intern. You provide the project, the mentorship, and the opportunity.
The FemAnalytica Data Science Internship Programme is a paid, structured three-month placement initiative that connects emerging data science talent in Malawi with organisations that have real-world data projects to offer. It is open to postgraduate students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals — with a particular focus on women and underrepresented groups.
FemAnalytica funds and pays the intern stipend directly. Host organisations are responsible for providing a defined project, dedicated supervision, and an environment that actively supports the intern's learning and professional development. Together, we are building Malawi's next generation of data scientists.
Beyond placing interns with your organisation, FemAnalytica supports every intern throughout the programme — giving host organisations confidence that interns arrive prepared and remain supported.
We welcome applications from any Malawi-based organisation — across sectors — that has a meaningful data project ready to offer an intern. You do not need to describe your work as "data science" to apply. If your organisation works with data to solve problems, generate evidence, or improve services, we want to hear from you.
Host organisations must be formally constituted and operating in Malawi.
The project must involve working with real data — health records, survey data, administrative data, agricultural data, or similar.
This includes analysis, modelling, visualisation, data quality work, responsible data use, or ethical AI — broadly interpreted.
A named supervisor with relevant expertise must be available for the full three-month placement.
Host organisations must actively invest in the intern's learning — not just their output.
Appropriate ethical and data governance arrangements must be in place or actively being pursued.
We are happy to have an informal conversation before you submit your application — whether you want to check if your project is eligible, discuss the supervision commitment, or learn more about what the programme involves.
