[liberationtech] Google Policy Fellowship program

[Yosem Companys]

Google is now accepting 2012 Policy Fellowship applications in conjunction
with the New America Foundation's Open Technology Initiative (OTI).
Students from all majors and degree programs who are passionate about
technology and telecommunications policy issues are encouraged to apply. We
are especially interested in candidates with an economic, social sciences
research, or technological background. The selected candidate will work
closely with OTI for ten weeks during the summer of 2012****

*Fellowship Focus Areas*

Working with OTI provides Google Fellow’s with the opportunity to perform
in-depth research and analysis in technology and telecommunications-related
issues. From technology development and research projects like Commotion
Wireless <http://oti.newamerica.net/commotion_wireless_0> and Measurement
Lab <http://www.measurementlab.net/> to community based research dedicated
to better understanding and solving the digital divide, OTI’s work sits at
the intersection of telecommunications policy and the Internet, with a
focus on analyzing issues from a technological, policy, and community
perspective.

Candidates with an interest in broadband adoption and access strategies,
wireless networking, broadband infrastructure, broadband measurement,
online privacy, and Internet freedom are encouraged to apply. Fellows can
potentially be involved in more than one focus area over the summer, though
please let us know if you have a specific interest or a related background.
