We seek researchers who wish to interact with both computer scientists and colleagues from other disciplines and have a demonstrated interest in connecting their research agenda with societal issues. We are particularly interested in candidates with interests in:
The ideal researcher will have a technical background in an area related to computer science and a desire to creatively use those skills to address problems of societal importance. CRCS is a highly collaborative environment, and we expect Fellows and Scholars to engage with researchers both inside and outside of computer science.

There are numerous opportunities for CRCS Fellows and Visiting Scholars to engage with Harvard faculty, students and scholars in computer science and other disciplines including: the bi-weekly CRCS lunch seminar series, the CRCS annual symposium, various informal CRCS lunches, and other research group meetings. Additionally, CRCS has close ties with Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society and CRCS Fellows attend the weekly Berkman Fellows' meeting.
