Post an Opportunity

Alumni and parents wishing to hire Faculty of Arts & Sciences (Harvard College, Griffin GSAS, or Harvard Extension) students and recent graduates can post positions for free on Crimson Careers, the MCS online jobs and internships database. Please register using the “Employer” section of Crimson Careers.

Short-term projects, sometimes called micro-internships, are a great way for students to build skills, earn money, and create invaluable alumni connections. If you have a project in mind, or have the capacity to develop one, please consider sharing it with Harvard students by posting in Crimson Careers.

• These opportunities should be skill-building for the student and/or educate the student about a specific field.
• We recommend that projects are paid, however, unpaid projects are welcomed if they have a significant learning component or support nonprofit or mission-driven initiatives.
• Projects can be remote, hybrid, or in-person.
• In-person projects cannot take place in someone’s home and unskilled tasks will be referred to the Student Employment Office.
• We reserve the right to reject opportunities that are not skill building or educational.
