Manja Klemenčič je zaposlena kot predavateljica sociologije na oddelku za sociologijo na Univerzi Harvard in predava, raziskuje, mentorira in opravlja svetovalno delo na področju sociologije in politike visokega šolstva ter mednarodnih in primerjalnih študij visokega šolstva. Na Harvardu skupaj s profesorjema Reuben in Menand vodi Mahindra Seminar Universities: Past, Present and Future.
V svojem raziskovalnem delu se ukvarja predvsem s vprašanji vplivnosti, učinkov ter aktivnega vklučevanja študentov v izobraževalne procese in procese odločanja na visokošolskih zavodih. V okviru tega področja korigira tradicionalni raziskovalni pristop v sociologiji visokega šolstva, ki se osredotoča predvsem na vprašanja učinkov visokošolskih zavodov in izobraževalnih procesov na študente in ne obratno. Učinke študentov na visokošolske zavode raziskuje v treh domenah. Ena domena zajema študentsko organiziranje in vplivnosti študentov preko mehnizmov in organov formalne študentske zastopanosti v procesih odločanja. Druga domena se osredotoča na študente osredotočeno poučevanje in učenje ter aktivno vključevanje študentov v te procese. Tretja domena odpira vprašanja študentskega dela – tako prostovoljnega kot plačljivega – v visokošolskem zavodu in učinke, ki jih imajo študenti na svoje zavode in skupnosti v okviru teh zavodov preko različnih oblik študentskega dela. Raziskovala je tudi pogoje akademskega dela, zagotavljanje kakovosti, profiliranje univerz, internacionalizacijo visokega šolstva ter državljansko izobraževanje v kontekstu visokega šolstva. Največ se ukvarja s primerjalnimi empiričnimi raziskavami na področju Evrope, globalnimi primerjalnimi študijami ter študijami, ki zadevajo Slovenijo.
Klemenčičeva je glavna urednica revije European Journal of Higher Education (Routledge / Taylor & Francis). Je tudi so-urednica knjižne zbirke Understanding Student Experiences of Higher Education (Bloomsbury) in so-urednica Springer Encyclopedia of International Higher Education Systems and Institutions (Springer). Je članica uredniških odborov Tertiary Education and Management, Policy Reviews in Higher Education, Higher Education in Russia and Beyond, Journal of Student Affairs in Africa in The Europa World of Learning ter recenzentka za devetnajst akademskih revij in založb.
Dodiplomski študij iz ekonomije je končala na Univerzi v Mariboru. Na Univerzi v Cambridgeu je zaključila magistrski študij iz Evropskih študij ter doktorski študij iz področja mednarodnih študij s poudarkom na politologiji in politični sociologiji. Kot doktorska raziskovalka je gostovala na Harvard Kennedy School of Government in na Center for European Policy Studies v Bruslju. Kot podoktorska raziskovalka pa se je izobraževala na Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies, Harvard University; Center for International Higher Education, Boston College; Center for Social Science Research in Berlin (WZB) in Harvard Graduate School of Education. Leta 2010 se je kot zasebna raziskovalka pridružila raziskovalni skupini Prof. Pavleta Zgage na projektu Diferenciacija, enakost, produktivnost: socialne in ekonomske konsekvence razširjenih in diferenciranih visokošolskih sistemov z vidikov internacionalizacije (08-EuroHESC-OP-016), ki ga je financiral ARRS. Od takrat je CEPSova sodelavka v tujini. V Sloveniji sodeluje tudi z raziskovalno skupino na Centru Republike Slovenije za mobilnost in evropske programe izobraževanja in usposabljanja (CMEPIUS).
Kot recenzentka in evalvatorka svetuje nacionalnim raziskovalnim skladom (National Research Foundation (NRF), Human Sciences Research Council, South Africa;Research and Scoping Awards of the Society of Research into Higher Education, United Kingdom; Irish Research Council Laureate Awards scheme; Research Grants, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council | Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines, Government of Canada; Unitatea Executiva pentru Finantarea Invatamantului Superior, a Cercetarii, Dezvoltarii si Inovarii (UEFISCDI), Ministerului Educatiei si Cercetarii Stiintifice (MECS), Romania; ESCR/NRF Newton, United Kingdom) in Evrospki Uniji (The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency of the European Commission).
