Applications are open for CDT's Non-Residential Fellows program (2024)

[Dhanaraj Thakur]

Hi everyone,

The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) is now accepting applications for its 2024 cohort of non-residential Fellows. Our work addresses several tech policy areas including the use of AI and the policy implications for privacy, free expression and content moderation, security and surveillance, and election integrity, among others.

The non-resident Fellows program is a great opportunity for researchers to use their work to inform important tech policy debates. This includes opportunities to publish their work, particularly for non-academic audiences; attending and potentially presenting at CDT events that include industry, government, civil society, and academic audiences; and potentially participating in CDT led events to directly engage policy-makers in the U.S., the EU, and elsewhere.

In addition, new Fellows will join an amazing network of researchers and academics. 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. This can include but is not limited to communication, public policy, sociology, psychology, computer science, economics, law, anthropology, etc. Interested candidates should have experience working on tech policy issues in the U.S. and/or the EU and be affiliated with an academic institution at the time of their application.

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. Please use this link to submit your application. If you have any questions please please contact us: rese...@cdt.org.

Finally, feel free to share with relevant colleagues.   

Thanks! 

Dhanaraj
