ASML Fellowship 2025 Application Window Open at Harvard

Cambridge, Massachusetts – The Applied Social Media Lab (ASML) at Harvard University’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society is seeking mid-to-senior career professionals in the tech and social media sectors for its unique ASML Fellowship Program. This opportunity is tailor-made for those passionate about leveraging technology to improve social media and foster a more beneficial online environment.

The ASML Fellowship offers a collaborative space for fellows to develop projects focused on public interest technology within the realm of social media. Fellows can choose between a six-week or four-month program, depending on their project scope and availability.

The fellowship provides a generous stipend ($5,000 for six weeks, $18,000 for four months) and fosters a rich network of tech experts, academics, and civil society advocates. Fellows receive valuable feedback on their projects and engage with like-minded individuals, creating a stimulating environment for innovation.

While the fellowship is primarily remote, ASML encourages fellows to visit its Cambridge, MA location, offering travel and accommodation support upon request.

Project proposals should align with one of four key focus areas:

• • Civil Discourse Spaces,
  • Transparency Tools,
  • Personalized Safety Applications, or
  • Interoperable Software Infrastructure.

Ideal candidates possess at least three years of experience in the tech or social media industry and a strong interest in public interest technology. Those who have recently left a social media role and are eager to contribute to positive change are particularly encouraged to apply.

To apply, interested individuals must submit an online application form (https://asml.cyber.harvard.edu/asml-fellowship-program/) and a two-page project proposal outlining their objectives and anticipated impact. The application deadline is November 1st, 2024, for projects commencing on February 1st, 2025.

This is a unique opportunity for experienced professionals to make a tangible difference in the social media landscape and contribute to a more positive and inclusive online world!
