Hi all, The Center for Democracy & Technology has an ongoing non-residential Fellows program <https://cdt.org/about/fellows/> as part of its role of building engagement between the research and policy-making communities. We are now accepting applications for the 2021-23 cohort and are looking for researchers from diverse disciplines and backgrounds advocating for digital rights. The Fellows program is a great opportunity for researchers to inform our policy advocacy work and to engage with policy-makers in the US and EU. What CDT offers to Fellows: * CDT commits to providing a platform for publishing relevant fellows’ work, as well as providing regular updates on key tech and internet policy developments. * Fellows are invited to attend certain CDT-branded public events and webinars, including our Annual Dinner, Tech Prom, as guests of CDT. * Throughout the fellowship, CDT Fellows will have the opportunity to engage with our team, and to provide feedback and suggestions on policy positions, white papers, research, and other outputs. Fellows are also encouraged to contribute original writing to CDT’s blog and engage in collaborative projects with our research and policy teams. Fellows may also be invited to conduct research in collaboration with CDT on mutually agreed projects that relate to CDT’s core research and advocacy work. Fellows are welcome to propose joint research projects that they think would be a good fit for CDT. We encourage applications from interested persons who will commit to a two-year, nonresident engagement and possess a Ph.D., JD, or equivalent in their respective field of study..These can include but are not limited to public policy, sociology, psychology, computer science, economics, law, etc. Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, including areas of interest and how they are aligned with CDT’s work, resume, and one relevant writing sample which should already be published.
