How to Apply
Graduate Student Associate
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. Please contact Kate Flaherty (kflaherty@fas.harvard.edu) for more information on how to apply to become a Graduate Student Associate.
In-Residence Graduate Student Associates
Office space allocations are made each summer for the coming academic year. All are welcome to apply; however, preference will be given to students who are post-generals, teaching, or entering their dissertation completion year. Graduate Student Associates must re-apply for space each year.
We are currently at capacity and not accepting applications for office space for the 2024-2025 academic year. However, if you would like to be placed on a waitlist, please email Kate Flaherty.
