The Harvard Center for International Development (CID) brings researchers and practitioners to Harvard University through our Fellowship Programs. 

CID's tight-knit research community welcomes individuals who seek to spend time researching, writing, and engaging with the Harvard community. Our fellows range from early-stage researchers who are on track to join PhD programs to senior practitioners who bring their life experiences to CID through hosting their own CID Student Seminars and presenting at a CID Speaker Series.    

Harvard University is committed to recruiting a diverse group of faculty, students, and staff. We work to ensure that our appointments and selection process consciously identify and evaluate people from underrepresented groups. We also actively strive to remove sources of unconscious bias. CID invites applications from women, minorities, and those whose background and experience will bring additional dimensions to the community.
