Consulting Opportunities
IP3 is always seeking qualified consultants for both training and consulting assignments. We seek specialists at all levels that are able to supplement their technical mastery with real-world experience. Previous international experience is critical for many projects. But some of the best advisors have been those with practical domestic experience. International advisors are not born; they're developed. Ideal candidates should meet the following criteria:

Experience. Candidates who have technical specialization should have experience in their applications on more than an academic level.
Capability for Training and Consulting Assignments. IP3 has always sought to supplement our technical assistance programs with a strong training component. Therefore, ideal candidates should possess strong interactive teaching skills, exercised diplomacy, and technical mastery.
Availability for International Travel. Since most of our work is in the developing world, ideal candidates should have both the availability and desire to work internationally.

For more efficient processing, candidates are encouraged to submit their CV in the Adobe PDF format or you may submit in the MS Word format and attach it to this email address: hrdept@ip3.org
