Research Fellowships Position in Administrative at Harvard University, UK

Harvard University’s Administrative Fellowship Program seeks to attract talented professionals, especially more ethnic minorities, to administrative careers in higher education. In addition, the University encourages applications from individuals from all backgrounds who are committed to addressing the underrepresentation of ethnic minorities in academic administration to administrative professional careers in higher education. To this end, the Administrative Fellowship Program offers a twelve-month management experience complemented by a professional development program.The Program provides participants with opportunities to broaden their experience through working in an academic environment as a mid-level administrator. The Program seeks to enrich and diversify the Harvard community by bringing talented professionals to Cambridge.

The Program is in its twenty-first year of operation and will draw Fellows from business, government, education, and the professions. Each participant will receive a salary from Harvard University. All costs for the required educational seminar will be covered by Harvard University. Participants must secure and cover the cost of their housing.The 2011-2012 Program will begin in September. The Fellows will be placed in various schools and departments throughout the University. Reflecting the academic and administrative diversity of the Harvard community, assignments for each Fellow will differ. However, individual fellowship needs will be shaped by considering both the school’s or department’s needs and the participant’s career experience. Visiting Fellows are strongly urged to obtain leaves of absence from their current jobs. While the University will make every effort to place successful participants, there is no guarantee of permanent Harvard employment upon completion of the Program.
