Call for Applications: Berkman Center Academic Fellowship
<<http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/getinvolved/fellowships/academicfellow>http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/getinvolved/fellowships/academicfellow>
The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University
seeks an academic to join the community as fellow for the 2010-2011
academic year. The Berkman academic fellowship is designed to
support an early-to-mid career academic conducting research
expected to yield valuable data and/or new insights related to
Internet and society.
The Berkman Center looks forward to facilitating and advancing
significant works of scholarship achieved through both traditional
and experimental methods. The academic fellowship provides a
focused opportunity for the production of such works as articles,
books, and other considerable contributions to our understanding of
cyberspace.
Beyond executing the plan proposed by the fellow, interaction
with, support from, and contributions to the fellows and Berkman
Center communities play a vital part of the academic fellowship experience.
Qualifications: The academic fellow should have a highly
distinguished academic record, and should be a rising scholar -
either a recent recipient of an advanced degree, a postdoc, or a
university lecturer/professor developing their teaching and
research career. The academic fellow should be an outstanding
leader or future leader in their field. We will consider
applicants from all disciplines.
The fellow must also possess a blend of knowledge, curiosity,
openness and ambition, as well as a desire to work with a dynamic,
mission-driven organization. A commitment to interdisciplinarity
is also necessary.
Stipend and Benefits: A stipend of $48,000 is awarded for the
academic year. Access to Harvard University resources, including
health benefits and library and ID privileges, are also provided.
About the Berkman Fellowship Program: The Berkman Center hosts a
robust and diverse community of fellows in Cambridge, MA. Berkman
Center fellows play a crucial role in discovery, learning, and
engagement, helping to drive projects from within and to bring
fresh ideas and skills into our community. They are essential to
the Berkman Center's network as nodes of intelligence, insight,
energy, and knowledge-sharing. More information about the
fellowship program can be found at:

Additional Information: The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at
Harvard University is a research program founded to explore
cyberspace, share in its study, and help pioneer its development.
Founded in 1997, through a generous gift from Jack N. and Lillian R.
Berkman, the Center now is home to an ever-growing community of
faculty, fellows, staff, and affiliates working on projects that
span the intersections among innovation, democracy, learning, law,
technology, and policy.
Application Materials:

writing project to be conducted over the course of the
fellowship. We are particularly interested in knowing how your
project will relate to and interact with ongoing Berkman research
projects and subject areas.
2.) A curriculum vitae.
3.) Recent academic transcripts.
4.) Two letters of reference, including contact information
5.) A digital copy in English of either your most recent
