The Applied Social Media Lab (ASML) at Harvard University’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society invites mid-to-senior-career responsible tech contributors who have an active role in the social media field—or who have recently left a technology firm—to apply for the ASML Fellowship Program. ASML Fellows will engage in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment to advance technology in the public interest.
The program aims to provide participants the space, time, and connections to develop new approaches to social media technology by advancing projects that prioritize the public interest. For the six-week program, ASML Fellows will receive a total stipend of $5,000. For the four-month program, ASML Fellows will receive a total stipend of $18,000. While this fellowship is remote, participants will be encouraged to visit the Lab in Cambridge, MA, at least once during their appointment, subject to mutual interest and availability. Travel and accommodation support for this visit may be available upon request.
We welcome applications from a wide range of tech professionals passionate about transforming the social media landscape. Ideal candidates will have demonstrated at least three years of professional experience in the tech or social media field, and have a proposal for a public interest technology project. While experience working at social media companies is preferred, independent contributors with demonstrated impact in the field are encouraged to apply.
We invite prospective participants to apply via this link and include their CV, a two-page project proposal, and responses to a few survey questions. Applicants can select their ideal timeline for participation, with options for a six-week or four-month program (from September to December or February to May).
