The position includes a competitive salary and Harvard University benefits.

Interested candidates should submit a CV, a writing sample if available, and a cover letter to the coordinator of the Program, at programcoordinator@corpgov.law.harvard.edu. The cover letter should describe the candidate’s reasons for seeking the position, career plans, and the period during which they would like to work with the Program.
