As part of CDT’s Elections and Democracy team, the Fellow will work on key issues such as election-related mis- and disinformation, online voter suppression, and election security and administration, including in conjunction with election officials, online platforms, legislators, and other stakeholders.

    CDT has worked for almost a decade to improve the security and accessibility of America’s election systems, recently expanding our work to address the crisis of trust in American democracy precipitated by the onslaught of disinformation about how elections are administered. Disinformation and misinformation have also been used to suppress voter participation, particularly targeting communities of color. The democratizing power of the internet creates new opportunities — but also new threats — to support fair, informed, and trustworthy elections. We engage with these issues from both technical and policy-minded perspectives, creating solutions-oriented policy resources and actionable guidance for companies and election officials alike.

    The Elections and Democracy Fellow will contribute to the organization’s work across these issues, particularly focusing on threats to the online information environment. The position requires a combination of research and advocacy skills to respond to emerging issues.

    Engaging directly with technology companies to develop best practices and policy recommendations.
    Serving as a resource to federal and state governments and political campaigns as they enact new policies and practices on the use of generative AI in political advertising and campaigning.
    Coordinating advocacy efforts with other civil society organizations that have a shared interest in elections and democracy and the online information environment.
    Assisting with tracking and analyzing federal and state proposals to regulate generative AI and other elections-related legislation.
    Convening and engaging with technical experts, election vendors, election officials, voting and democracy advocates, academics and other stakeholders working on issues within the project’s scope.
    Supporting research, preparation, and operationalization of trainings for election officials and other stakeholders.
    Collaborating with CDT’s teams focused on free expression/online platform governance; technology & disability rights; AI governance, and consumer privacy; as well as CDT’s Research team and non-resident Research Fellows.
    Qualifications

    No specific degree is required. However, a competitive candidate will have at least 5 years of relevant professional or academic experience.
    One or more of the following areas of expertise:
    Election technology and/or election administration;
    Efforts to combat election-related mis- and disinformation and online voter suppression
    Developing and/or implementing elections-related policies in a trust and safety role
    Demonstrated research and/or applied experience in the form of publications, government documents, presentations, frameworks, or other outputs.
    Excellent verbal and written communication skills;
    An ability to work diplomatically with people from various stakeholder communities;
    Experience in formal or informal project management;
    Possession of superb writing skills for a variety of audiences;
    The ability to communicate easily with lay people about complex topics; and
    An energetic, entrepreneurial, and collaborative working style.
    This is a one-year full-time Fellowship, with the possibility of extending or transitioning to a permanent role at CDT after the fellowship based on performance, the organization’s needs, and availability of funds.

    About CDT

    The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that fights to advance civil rights and civil liberties in the digital age.

    Compensation and Location

    The compensation for this position ranges from $65K-$105K. Compensation is determined on a tiered pay scale based on years of experience and the responsibilities of the role.
