*Berkman Center Fellowship Opportunity: Broadband Research
<http://jobs.harvard.edu/jobs/summ_req?in_post_id=41767>*
*Duties And Responsibilities:* The Berkman Center for Internet and 
Society at Harvard University is actively seeking a resident fellow to 
join the Center immediately and lead its ongoing project examining the 
role of broadband access in society and the policy decisions that affect 
its nature. Working closely with the project leadership and others in 
the Berkman community, the fellow will be responsible for coordinating 
all aspects of the broadband project, including: shaping research 
questions and focus, reviewing extant literature, supervising research 
assistants, performing data analysis, writing case studies, coordinating 
with outside researchers and soliciting input, communicating with 
entities like the FCC, monitoring new activity in the space, and 
relationship-building. In particular, through early fall of 2009, 
Berkman will assist the Federal Communications Commission in reviewing 
worldwide broadband studies. The project is a collaborative effort 
including Harvard faculty, Berkman Center fellows, and student 
researchers. This fellowship is also positioned for dynamic 
participation in the broader Berkman Center Fellowship Program, 
including interacting with, supporting, and learning from and with 
fellow fellows and the larger Berkman community. As with all Berkman 
appointments, this is a term position ending June 30, 2010. Continuation 
is contingent on program needs and resource considerations.

*Additional Qualifications:* Demonstrated ability leading a significant 
research project through all stages including conception, design, 
writing, and publishing. Ability to inspire production within a busy 
environment from a small team of reporting researchers as well as from 
cooperating faculty and fellows. Must possess a blend of knowledge, 
curiosity, openness and self-motivation. Strong written and oral 
communication skills are essential. Desire to work for dynamic, 
mission-driven organization is a must. We seek to fill this position 
ASAP, so qualified applicants must be available to start without delay, 
and be equipped to hit the ground running with regard to knowledge of 
related ongoing research, literature, and sources.

*Additional Information:* The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at 
Harvard University is a research program founded to explore cyberspace, 
share in its study, and help pioneer its development. Founded in 1997, 
through a generous gift from Jack N. and Lillian R. Berkman, the Center 
is home to an ever-growing community of faculty, fellows, staff, and 
affiliates working on projects that span the broad range of 
intersections between cyberspace, technology, and society. More 
information can be found at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu. The broadband 
project explores various economic, regulatory, and cultural factors in 
high-speed internet access. The outputs include in-depth case studies, 
quantitative analysis of broadband data, qualitative investigation of 
policy, and reviews of existing work. The Berkman Center is at a 
uniquely central position in U.S. broadband policy as a respected 
convener of stakeholders and synthesizer of positions.
