An Invitation

The W3C Team consists of the W3C paid staff and W3C Fellows, all led by the Chief Executive Officer and the Director. If you would like to join the Team, and your employer* is a W3C Member that can pay your salary while you work for W3C, please apply to become a W3C Fellow. You can make a world of difference. Fellows have access to Team communications, are full-fledged W3C Team members, and are given responsibilities that are important to the success of the Consortium.

Fellowship Openings

W3C is currently seeking qualified individuals for the following Fellowships:

  1. Business and Technology Communications Specialist (announced 11 January 2007)
  2. Web / Graphic Designer (announced 11 January 2007)
  3. Software Engineer (announced 14 February 2007)

Please see each fellowship description for details and contact information. Fellowship opportunities are not limited to those announced here; please contact W3C if you are interested in other activities.

Requirements

W3C Fellows must be able to speak English effectively and write English fluently. They must be an employee of one of W3C's Member organizations, and should expect to commit to W3C about 80% of their time for a typical period of 18-24 months. Fellows normally work at one of W3C's Host sites. Fellows or their sponsors are responsible for their own salary, benefits, relocation costs, and living expenses. Some sponsors pay work-related travel expenses. W3C Host sites may provide work-related travel expenses, and desktop or laptop computers, depending on circumstances. As with the W3C paid staff, W3C Fellows must possess insight, tact, technical understanding, and the ability to follow things through.

How to Proceed

  1. Confirm* that your employer is a W3C Member and that your organization will provide you with financial support.
  2. Read About W3C to find out if your goals match those of W3C.
  3. Discuss your plan with your W3C Advisory Committee representative.
  4. Make a proposal to the W3C Manager most closely associated with your interest.

*Note: If your organization is not currently a W3C Member, your organization may wish to join W3C. If joining is not a possibility at this time but your organization can provide you with financial support, you may write to W3C to express your interest as participation may be possible outside the Fellows program.
