Hi All,
The Open Web Fellowship program empowers the next generation of open Internet leaders and advocates by embedding them at leading human rights and civil society organizations from around the world, where they can positively impact the health of the Internet and bring critical strategic expertise to the organisation.
Research ICT Africa (RIA) will be hosting a 2017 fellow in Cape Town, South Africa. The Fellowship gives an individual the opportunity to work with RIA, and benefit from the expertise of our staff and research environment to work on a project for a sustained period. The application closes on the 21st of May!
We would like the Ford-Mozilla fellow to work on a broadband performance and technical internet measurements project. We would like her/him to work either on the improvement of MySpeed Test, an open source app originally developed at Georgia Tech and that we have historically used to collect data on broadband performance; or on the collection and analysis of technical internet measurements on performance, internet peering, and users behaviour with any other tool or app. As this field and our QoS team, is very dominated by men we would particularly welcome a female fellow.
For more on RIA and our project - http://researchictafrica.net/home.php?h=208.
Best,
Enrico
