Visiting Scientists

Visiting scientists make significant contributions to academic projects and programs in collaboration with Harvard Chan School (SPH) faculty. This includes individuals who occasionally visit SPH to provide scientific expertise on a research project, scientists at non-Harvard institutions who facilitate an SPH research project by serving as liaison to her/his home institution, as well as individuals engaged in teaching and mentoring activities such as hosting SPH students and postdocs at their home institution. In some cases, faculty members from other institutions who visit SPH while on sabbatical are appointed as visiting scientists. Ordinarily, visiting scientists hold a doctoral degree. The Office of Faculty Affairs at Harvard Chan School is responsible for the appointment of Visiting Scientists.
