Fellowships

The Integrity Institute is pleased to host Resident Fellowship and Visiting Fellowship programs.

The recent turbulence in the tech industry has left many of the most talented tech professionals in exodus. We are looking for integrity professionals who want to help shape the future of the profession and define what it means to responsibly build the social internet. We will do this together through our work building the community of integrity professionals, developing and enriching our expertise, and sharing our expertise publicly with the outside world.

The Integrity Institute will be able to provide significant support for fellows work, from salary, to collaboration within our community, to our broad connections to policy, advocacy, and civil society organizations. We are also honored to be partnering with George Washington University and the Institute for Data, Democracy and Politics to provide academic support and connections to fellows.

Through these Resident Fellowships, the Integrity Institute will fund integrity professionals to work full time with the Institute for a duration ranging from 3 to 12 months. Resident fellows will work on a variety of projects that advance our goals: ensuring that social products are built with more integrity,

advancing the theory and practice of integrity work, and helping integrity workers have more power and influence.

This might look like building out best practices guides on the work, or advising people in power from a practitioner’s technical point of view. It might look like gathering the experiences of members, then synthesizing and publishing them. It might look like open research that helps the public at large share the insights we develop while working within the companies. It might look like any of a number of tasks that the institute and its members need for success: from original research to helping run an internal organizational development project to everything in between.

The Resident Fellowships are part of the Integrity Institute’s commitment to advancing the theory and practice of protecting the social internet and helping build a social internet that helps individuals, societies, and democracies thrive. These 3-to-12 month, salaried fellowships are awarded to experienced integrity professionals who qualify for Integrity Institute membership.

Meet our Founding Fellows

Every Founding Fellow is a leading voice in the field of Integrity, and brings years of technical expertise to tackling these problems. You may not know their names; that’s because instead of publicly talking about these problems, they have been solving them for companies.

Founding Fellows occupy a special place of honor. They helped build the Integrity Institute from the very beginning, and we vouch for their professional skills, for their dedication, and their values. Like all members, of course, they speak only for themselves — not for the Institute as a whole, and not for their employer. These are people to watch and learn from, and we are delighted that they choose to be a part of our community.
