[Air-L] CDT Non-Residential Fellows program - call for applications

[Dhanaraj Thakur]

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. To send applications or request further information please 
contact Jamal Magby at jmagby at cdt.org
