    Harvard University requires pre-employment reference and background checks.

    Harvard University is committed to supporting a healthy, sustainable learning and working environment.

    This is a hybrid position based on our campus in Cambridge, MA.

    As a campus-based institution, we place a high value on the in-person experience, cross-team collaboration, and strong community building in order to create a vibrant campus for our students, faculty, staff, and research fellows.

    The position is required to work in-person on campus a minimum of three days per week during the academic year.

    Specific days and schedule will be determined between you and your manager.

    The health of our workforce is a priority for Harvard University. With that in mind, we strongly encourage all employees to be up-to-date on CDC-recommended vaccines.

    Note:

    Starting salaries typically fall in the lower half of the salary range; however, they are ultimately determined by the scope of the position, the candidate's relevant experience, and internal equity.

    Position Description

    In this role, you will primarily be responsible for the following tasks:


    • Data collection and analysis: Collection and organization of quantitative data, cleaning and merging of datasets, design and production of tables and figures, and literature reviews.
    • Writing and editing: Preparation of academic journal articles, articles for practitioners, teaching cases and presentations. Tasks may include participation in interviews, archival research, drafting and editing.
    • Research coordination: Collaborate with multiple stakeholders including faculty, experts, and practitioners at Harvard and beyond. Tasks may include note-taking, project planning and management.
    You will receive functional direction from Professor Lee and his collaborators at Harvard and at other academic institutions.

    As part of this role, you will join the vibrant research community and conversation at HKS, including access to a wide range of speakers and research seminars.

    Job Summary

    Professor Matthew Lee is seeking a full-time Research Associate for one year or more.

    This role is a particularly good fit for candidates seeking to pursue a PhD or other research in the management of organizations, whether in a school of public policy, business school, or disciplinary department (i.e., sociology, economics).

    In this role, you will work closely with Professor Lee and his collaborators at the Harvard Kennedy School.

    Professor Lee is an Associate Professor of Public Policy and Management at HKS, where he is a faculty affiliate of the Center for Public Leadership and Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University.

    Professor Lee's research examines the strategies of social-mission driven organizations and their impact on society.

    He is particularly focused on organizations that pursue their missions within the context of business models, such as social enterprises, as well as multi-organization ecosystems of organizations across sectors that coordinate their activities toward shared social societal and environmental goals.
