Description
The IAPP Westin Fellowship Program was created in 2013 to encourage and enable research and scholarship in the field of privacy. Topics are selected annually for exploration with the intent of supporting the growth and development of the privacy profession.
Each year, the IAPP welcomes recent graduates to spend 12 months at our offices in Portsmouth, NH. Fellows report to the Vice President of Research & Education and work on a broad array of privacy research projects. The fellowship program, which bears the name of Dr. Alan Westin, a foundational scholar in the field of privacy, serves as a pathway for future leaders who aspire to join the privacy community.
Applicants from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Previous research, coursework or experience in privacy law, information technology, sociology, marketing or business may be useful.
The next application period opens January 1, 2014 and closes on March 31, 2014. Interviews will occur for some applicants in April, with final decisions expected by the end of April. Fellowship terms generally run from September through August of each year.
