I often wish that the Kennedy school offered students a resource for finding part time jobs while they're at school. This blog post is an attempt to compile all the different job posting locations for graduate students on campus.
- JACK. The Kennedy school job portal occasionally, although not often, features job postings from HKS centers and other locations on campus.
- Employment@Harvard. Harvard's official employment website is the largest resource of job sites around the university. Most of the postings on this site are for full time positions, but I have seen about a dozen new postings per month for part time positions open to students. The site is divided into an external and internal component. Always search the internal site. It contains all the external positions plus the positions that are open only to internal candidates; HKS students qualify as internal candidates.
- The HLS Administrative Updates blog constantly advertises research assistant positions with law school professors. Many of the research positions do not require, although often prefer, law school students. I know of several students with no legal training who have found jobs there.
- The Harvard Economics Department maintains a list of job postings for internal and external economics positions. Some are for research at think tanks in DC or in Boston; others are for research assistant positions; yet others are for course assistance.
- Ash Center -- Does not have an official job page. Possibly advertises for RA and intern opportunities on Jack or HKS Today.
- Belfer Center -- Does not have an official job page. Some of its projects and programs, which largely act as independent entities, post job offerings on their parts of the Belfer website.
- The Middle East Initiative advertises job opportunities on their website.
- Carr Center for Human Rights -- Has a dedicated internship page here. Also lists positions open to students who are eligible for work/study on a separate page here.
- Center for International Development -- Does not have an official job page, although it looks like they would advertise for jobs on their Student Programs page.
- Center for Public Leadership -- Advertises for jobs here.
- Edmond J. Safra Foundations Center for Ethics -- Advertises for jobs here.
- Hauser Center for Nonprofits -- Doesn't have an official job page, but it looks like they would advertise for jobs here.
- Institute of Politics -- Has a great research assistant page here. Not only does it offer an application for students to apply for RA positions, but it also lists current RAs and the professors with whom they are affiliated.
- Joint Center for Housing Studies -- Is not advertising for positions now, although it looks like if they did it would be on their Student Opportunities page.
- Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy -- Doesn't have a job page, although it looks like they advertise for jobs directly on their home page.
- Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government -- Has a dedicated page for student jobs here.
- Rappaport Institute -- Couldn't find a job page, but they offer research funding here.
- Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy -- Has an RA application here, and describes that application here.
- Taubman Center -- Doesn't have a dedicated job page, but discusses fellowships here, so they might also use that space to advertise for RA and part time positions.
- Women and Public Policy Program -- Has a dedicated internship page here.
