Google Policy Fellowship Header

We’re very excited to announce that Creative Commons will once again
be part of Google’s Policy Fellowship for the summer of 2010, and
we’re looking forward to filling the big shoes of our 2009 policy
fellow, Aurelia Schultz.  Just like last year, the Google Policy
Fellow will receive a substantial grant to work at Creative Commons’
San Francisco Office on the following issues (but this is certainly
not an exhaustive list of the things we’ll have you thinking about):

   * Synthesize statistics garnered from recent studies focusing on
international license adoption. Fellow will be expected to generate
and investigate diverse theses relating to license choice, adoption,
and use.
   * Coordinate with counsel to critically analyze the current state
of public domain policy in US and abroad. Develop a framework to help
Creative Commons’ deploy messaging regarding public domain policy in
US and abroad.
   * Research and analysis of how the contemporary discourse of
copyright, sharing, reuse, and remix has been shaped over the last six
years as a result of the Creative Commons project.
   * Investigate new opportunities for Creative Commons
implementation in ‘uncontacted’ communities, institutions, artists,
and mediums.
   * Work with Creative Commons’ international community and
jurisdiction project leads on projects, research, and outreach.

Check out more details and the application, which is due by December 28th, 2009.
