Applications call for Mozilla Foundation Fellowships Program

The Ford Foundation and Mozilla are partnering to strengthen organizations in the Global South by layering technology strategies into their work. This will help create a ‘third space’ where key civil society organizations and tech-focused individuals address issues at the intersection of technology and society. This will also seek to address the political element of technology — that technology as a neutral tool is affected by its creators and their biases. Benefits, harms, and side effects come from how systems are designed, what data is selected to train them, and what business rules they are given.

Eligibilities 

• Be an experienced technologist.
• Reside or have work authorization in the host country.
• Have relevant cultural knowledge of the host country.
• Be strategically-minded and consultant-oriented with experience in identifying problems and solutions at the intersection of technology and social justice issues.
• Be able to carry out fellowship work to an extent generally consistent with full-time engagement.
• Engagement length is a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 2 years, with an expectation that most will go for the full two years cycle.
