Additionally, the fellow will work where appropriate with external researchers working with Lumen data join the project team as a thought partner regarding Lumen’s efforts to work with data providers, help develop researcher tools, manage data in the database and contribute to the organization and hosting of a planned series of multi-stakeholder convenings (most saliently regarding best practices for online takedown transparency and research). The fellow’s primary responsibility will be to incubate and support the program’s internal research efforts by conducting scholarly or policy-oriented research relying on the information in Lumen’s database.

The fellow will be a core member of the Lumen team along with Lumen’s Project Manager, Lead Software Engineer, and Principal Investigator, as well as a member of the broader Berkman Klein academic community. The project’s goals are to encourage and facilitate both research and transparency about the different kinds of complaints and requests for removal that are being sent to Internet publishers and service providers, and to provide as much information as possible about such notices - of which Lumen’s database contains over twelve million, referencing the removal of approximately 4.5 billion URLs - in terms of who is sending them and why, and to what effect. Lumen is a research project collecting and studying requests and demands of all kinds -both legitimate and questionable- to remove material from online, including copyright takedown notices, government requests and court orders. The fellowship provides the opportunity to develop substantive and scholarly work on the global takedown and intermediary liability landscape, especially as it relates to the major challenges of the current moment. The Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University seeks an extraordinary full-time, salaried employee fellow to join the Center’s Lumen project.
