Google Policy Fellowship
Reminder! Applications for the 2012 Google Policy Fellowship are due
February 3, 2012 by midnight Pacific Time.
Program Overview
The Google Policy Fellowship program was inspired by Google's Summer
of Code with a public policy twist. The Google Policy Fellowship
program offers undergraduate, graduate, and law students interested in
Internet and technology policy the opportunity to spend the summer
contributing to the public dialogue on these issues, and exploring
future academic and professional interests.
Fellows will have the opportunity to work at public interest
organizations at the forefront of debates on broadband and access
policy, content regulation, copyright and trademark reform, consumer
privacy, open government, and more. Participating organizations are
based in either Washington, DC, San Francisco, CA, Ottawa or Toronto,
Canada and include: American Library Association, Canadian Internet
Policy and Public Interest Clinic, Center for Democracy and
Technology, Citizen Lab, Competitive Enterprise Institute, Creative
Commons, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Future of Music Coalition,
Internet Education Foundation, Joint Center for Political and Economic
Studies, Media Access Project, National Hispanic Media Coalition, New
America Foundation, Progress and Freedom Foundation, Public Knowledge,
TechFreedom, and Technology Policy Institute. More information about
the host organizations and the areas of focus for the fellows are
outlined here.
Fellows will be assigned a lead mentor at their host organizations,
but will have the opportunity to work with several senior staff
members over the course of the summer. Fellows will be expected to
make substantive contributions to the work of their organization,
including conducting policy research and analysis; drafting reports
and analyses; attending government and industry meetings and
conferences; and participating in other advocacy activities.
Who should apply?
We're looking for students who are passionate about technology, and
want to spend the summer diving headfirst into Internet policy.
Students from all majors and degree programs who possess the following
qualities are encouraged to apply:
Demonstrated or stated commitment to Internet and technology policy
Excellent academic record, professional/extracurricular/volunteer
activities, subject matter expertise
First-rate analytical, communications, research, and writing skills
Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and
efficiently, and to work smartly and resourcefully in a fast-paced
environment
Fellows will receive a stipend of $7,500 for 10 weeks during the
summer of 2012 (June-August). Exact dates of the fellowship will be
worked out by the fellow and host organization.
