Applications are open for the Mozilla Fellowship Programme 2019/2020. Mozilla is seeking technologists, activists, policy experts, and scientists who are building a more humane digital world.

Mozilla Fellows work on the front lines of internet health, at a time when the internet is entwined with everything from elections and free expression to justice and personal safety. Fellows ensure the internet remains a force for good — empowerment, equality, access — and also combat online ills, like abuse, exclusion, and closed systems.

During a 10-month tenure, Mozilla Fellows may run campaigns, build products, and influence policy. 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 will run from October 2019 through July 2020.
