Prof. Rachel Viscomi, Director of the Harvard Negotiation & Mediation Clinical Program (HNMCP) and the Dispute Systems Design Clinic, seeks RAs to engage in substantive projects in preparation for HNMCP’s 20th anniversary event in Fall 2026.  RAs would ideally be able to start work in August, and continue into the fall.

Projects would include supporting four Working Groups mapped onto the DSD Clinic’s practice areas:

  • Court-connected systems:  Increasing substantive and procedural justice through ADR processes
  • Organizational systems:  Helping mission-driven organizations design and refine conflict resolution systems to improve their effectiveness
  • Peacebuilding systems:  Collaborating with organizations and coalitions to build and navigate participatory systems for sustainable peace
  • Community systems:  Supporting groups working collectively to strengthen connection and build social and economic justice within their communities

Please submit your resume and a statement of interest, including any interest you have in a particular practice area, to HNMCP Asst. Director Sara del Nido Budish at sbudish@law.harvard.edu.
