We are especially interested in candidates with an economic, social sciences research, or technological background. The selected candidate will work closely with OTI for ten weeks during the summer of 2012 Fellowship Focus Areas Working with OTI provides Google Fellow's with the opportunity to perform in-depth research and analysis in technology and telecommunications-related issues. From technology development and research projects like Commotion Wireless<http://oti.newamerica.net/commotion_wireless_0> and Measurement Lab<http://www.measurementlab.net/> to community based research dedicated to better understanding and solving the digital divide, OTI's work sits at the intersection of telecommunications policy and the Internet, with a focus on analyzing issues from a technological, policy, and community perspective.
