Rajiv Chandrasekaran

former Baghdad Bureau Chief

The Washington Post

Rajiv Chandrasekaran is the journalist in residence at the International Reporting Project at the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies in Washington. From April 2003 to October 2004, he was The Washington Post's bureau chief in Baghdad, where he was responsible for covering the U.S. occupation of Iraq and supervising a team of American correspondents and more than two dozen Iraqi staffers. Currently on leave from The Post, he is writing a book about the U.S. occupation of Iraq, to be published in 2006. He will join the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington as a public policy scholar in June 2005.

Before the U.S.-led war in Iraq, he was The Post's Cairo bureau chief. Prior to that assignment, he was The Post’s Southeast Asia correspondent, based in Jakarta, Indonesia. In the months following September 11, 2001, he was part of a team of Post reporters who covered the war in Afghanistan. He has been a foreign correspondent for The Post since 1999. Prior to that, he was the paper’s Washington-based national technology correspondent. In that capacity, he had the primary responsibility for covering the Microsoft antitrust trial and regulatory issues involving the technology industry.

He joined The Post in 1994 as a reporter on the Metropolitan staff. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, he holds a degree in political science from Stanford University, where he was editor in chief of The Stanford Daily.
