Fellows ensure the internet remains a force for good \u2014 empowerment, equality, access \u2014 and also combat online ills, like abuse, exclusion, and closed systems.<\/p>\n<p><b>Mozilla is particularly interested in individuals whose expertise aligns with our 2019 impact goal: \u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/read-write-participate\/mozilla-ai-and-internet-health-an-update-b2316e41d8f5\"><b>better machine decision making<\/b><\/a><b>,\u201d or ensuring the artificial intelligence in our lives is designed with responsibility and ethics top of mind<\/b>. For example: Fellows might research how disinformation spreads on Facebook. Or, build a tool that identifies the blind spots in algorithms that detect cancer. Or, advocate for a \u201cdigital bill of rights\u201d that protects individuals from invasive facial recognition technology.<\/p>\n<p>During a 10-month tenure, Mozilla Fellows may run campaigns, build products, and influence policy. Along the way, Fellows receive competitive funding and benefits; mentorship and trainings; access to the Mozilla network and megaphone; and more. Mozilla Fellows hail from a range of disciplines and geographies: They are scientists in the UK, human rights researchers in Germany, tech policy experts in Nigeria, and open-source advocates in New Zealand. The Mozilla Fellowship runs from October 2019 through July 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, we\u2019re seeking Fellows who identify with one of three profiles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Open web activists<\/b>: Individuals addressing issues like privacy, security, and inclusion online. These Fellows will <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/read-write-participate\/apply-to-host-a-mozilla-fellow-d3f82106fcef\">embed<\/a> at leading human rights and civil society organizations from around the world, working alongside the organizations and also exchanging advocacy and technical insights among each other.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Tech policy professionals<\/b>: Individuals who examine the interplay of technology and public policy \u2014 and craft legal, academic, and governmental solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Scientists and researchers<\/b>: Individuals who infuse open-source practices and principles into scientific research.
