Fellows Application 2017 | Library Innovation Lab [deadline: Feb 24]

"The Harvard Library Innovation Lab is seeking thinkers and doers to join our Summer 2017 class of fellows.

Our summer fellows program will bring together a small set of visionaries to explore future directions in libraries, law, and technology. We value different ways of thinking and strongly encourage brilliant minds from all disciplines and backgrounds to apply.

The Program

A cohort of five to seven fellows will join the Lab in June 2017 and will stay through August 2017. Fellows will enter the program with their own projects and will collaborate with their cohort and members of the Lab to produce paradigm shifting research, design, code, and art. Have a look at the phenomenal work of the 2016 summer cohort.

Energy from all corners of law, tech, and libraries is welcomed, with particular encouragement given to potential candidates that might benefit from some of the Lab's current work in open law, web archives, war crimes research, private talking spaces, crowdsourced fair use predictions, and free textbooks. All stages of education and career are welcome — from drifters to undergraduates to practicing artists to working professionals.

Fellows will have access to working space in the Harvard Law School Library and will lead weekly research and project updates on Wednesdays. The structure over the ten weeks will be largely shaped by the work of the fellows and the energy they contribute."
