Current Students at Harvard and Nearby Universities

The China Project recruits student researchers for specific studies and we welcome inquiries from current undergraduate and graduate students at any of Harvard's schools about contributing to Project research. We also occasionally involve student researchers from nearby universities (to date including M.I.T., Boston U., Brandeis, and Tufts). We currently especially encourage inquiries from students with backgrounds and interests in economics, atmospheric science, environmental health, wind and solar energy resources and technologies, and electricity transmission and distribution.

We also welcome inquiries from Harvard students about advising theses and dissertations related to atmospheric environment in China or in a U.S.-China context (including in economics, energy, emissions, air quality, health, law, policy, and other fields).

Prospective Harvard Students

The China Project is a research program, not a degree-granting entity of Harvard University. To become a student, you must apply to a department or school of the university; see the admissions page of the main Harvard website. "Faculty and Student Resources" on the website of the Harvard University Center for the Environment gives guidance on environment-related programs across the university.

Prospective Harvard Post-Doctoral Researchers

The Project does not have a formal fellowship program, but recruits post-doctoral researchers in specific research areas as studies progress and participants' interests evolve. We welcome inquiries about post-doctoral research from those with strong academic and research records related to our current research areas, as linked in the navigation box at upper left and on the Project home page. Chinese language skills are usually required.

We especially encourage inquiries in atmospheric chemistry, meteorology-based energy resources and technologies (wind and solar), electricity transmission and distribution, and economic modeling.
