Please note that in the 2022-2023 academic year we are not welcoming students into our fellowship cohort. For the 2022-2023 year, we invite academics who are post-docs or professors. Fellows come from across the disciplinary spectrum and different life paths. We encourage applications from scholars, practitioners, innovators, engineers, artists, and others committed to understanding and advancing the public interest.
#BERKMAN KLEIN CENTER INTERNET PROFESSIONAL#
We welcome applications from people who feel that a year as a fellow in our variegated community would accelerate their efforts and contribute to their ongoing personal and professional development. We invite applications from people whose work on the Internet and society may overlap with ongoing work at the Berkman Klein Center and may expose our community to new opportunities and approaches. The program encourages and supports fellows in an inviting and playful intellectual environment with community activities designed to foster inquiry and risk-taking to identify and expose common threads across fellows’ individual activities and to bring fellows into conversation with the students, staff, faculty, and broader community at the Berkman Klein Center.įrom their diverse backgrounds and wide-ranging physical and virtual travels, Berkman Klein Center fellows bring fresh ideas, skills, passion, and connections to the Center and our community, and from their time spent in Cambridge, they help build and extend new perspectives and activities back out into their home networks, communities, and fields.įellows appointed through this open call come into their fellowship with a personal research agenda, a set of ambitions, and a sense of the public scholarship and community interactions they wish to foster while at the Center. The Berkman Klein Center’s fellowship program provides an opportunity for innovative thinkers and changemakers to come together to hone and share ideas, find camaraderie, and spawn new initiatives. Our method is to build out into cyberspace, record data as we go, self-study, and share. We are a research center, premised on the observation that what we seek to learn is not already recorded. “The Berkman Klein Center’s mission is to explore and understand cyberspace to study its development, dynamics, norms, and standards and to assess the need or lack thereof for laws and sanctions. About the Berkman Klein Fellowship Program We look forward to bringing together an exceptional cohort of fellows in the coming year!Īpplications will be accepted until Monday, January 31, 2022, at 11:59pm Eastern Time. Information about our 2022-2023 program is detailed below. Drawing on our experience engaging fellows over the last twenty+ years, we seek to make our fellowship more sustainable for participants while preserving the range of opportunities and special environment that fellows have both benefited from and worked to build. We have refined a number of elements of our fellowship program. This opportunity is for scholars who wish to spend 2022-2023 in residence in Cambridge, MA as part of the Center’s vibrant community of research and practice, and who seek to engage in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and cross-sectoral exploration of the Internet’s most important issues. The Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University is now accepting fellowship applications for the 2022-2023 academic year through our open call.
