Research Assistantships
The Project on Workforce welcomes current Harvard students interested in Research Assistant opportunities to learn more about current projects and submit an application here.
These are paid opportunities. Pay will be consistent with the HKS Research Assistant scale, based on educational experience. Time commitment is typically 8 to 10 hours per week, but varies by position.
Future of Work Study Group
Applications will open in winter 2025. Join our mailing list for updates on our next cohort.
The Project on Workforce at Harvard hosts a cross-university study group for current Harvard graduate students that brings together a diverse group of students across different Harvard schools to discuss some of the key issues at the intersection of education, business, technology, and labor market policy.
The study group features interactive learning sessions as well as guests from business, public policy, government, technology, and education.
Study group members have the opportunity to meet students and Professors across different parts of Harvard who are thinking about the future of work and to collectively weigh some of the big questions facing society that inevitably cross sectors and disciplines.
