As a Harvard College student, you can be part of a research program that students have called “rewarding,” “unique,” and “amazing.” You can work side by side with a Radcliffe Fellow.

Our Radcliffe Research Partners program matches students with leading artists, scholars, scientists, and professionals.

The partnership is designed to be mutually beneficial. Fellows act as mentors, while students provide research assistance, acquire valuable research skills, and participate in the Institute’s rich intellectual life.

The partnerships mirror the multidisciplinary nature of the Institute with project topics in the arts; gender studies; the humanities and social sciences; public policy; and STEM research.

As a Radcliffe research partner, you will be paid $19.00 per hour and work an average of 8 to 12 hours a week under the supervision of a Radcliffe fellow.

Expectations:

• Collaborate with your Radcliffe fellow through regular in-person meetings.
• Submit written work as specified by your fellow. 
• Accurately report your work hours on a weekly basis. 
• Be accountable for managing your time effectively. 
• Promptly communicate any challenges related to assignment deadlines or meeting attendance.
