Affiliate Faculty Application

We welcome affiliate faculty applications from Harvard faculty members who would like to engage more concretely with the Kempner and who have research or educational interests that overlap with core areas of the Kempner’s mission.

Affiliate status at the Kempner is for Harvard faculty who pursue research aligned with the Kempner’s mission and who wish to deepen connections with the Kempner Institute. We encourage faculty considering affiliate status to first participate in Kempner events and to connect with Kempner faculty and fellows prior to applying.  You can subscribe to and attend any of our public events without affiliate status.

While affiliate status comes with several benefits, affiliates are not currently granted access to the Kempner Institute cluster.  However, Kempner GPUs may still be available to some faculty via requeue.  Learn more about accessing GPUs via requeue.
