The EcoDev Research Team at the Ethereum Foundation is excited to announce the launch of five six-month research fellowship positions. This fellowship offers the opportunity for participants to dive deep into underexplored Ethereum use cases, identifying blockers and enablers that may affect their development.
We invite researchers, developers, community members, and professionals from other industries to apply by submitting their background information and a one-page research proposal. We are looking for innovative ideas focused on nascent Ethereum use cases that:
- Materially and uniquely benefit from Ethereum’s capabilities.
- Focus on use cases that create positive sum outcomes and real-world benefits.
- Have yet to gain significant traction and/or been deeply explored within the Ethereum ecosystem.
The fellowship is focused on researching broader underexplored use case areas rather than specific products or pre-commercial developments. We are not seeking proposals for incremental improvements to well-researched and well-funded areas, such as AMMs, lending protocols, digital art, collectible IP, prediction markets, domain names, etc.
Fellowship Details
- Full-time Fellowship: Fellows will receive a monthly stipend to support their work.
- Regular Updates: Fellows are expected to share monthly drafts and a final report at the end of the six-month period.
- EF Team Engagement: Group chats, guidelines, and weekly check-ins for fellows with the EcoDev Research team will be provided.
Fellowship Deliverables
Fellows are expected to provide monthly progress reports and a final report summarizing their findings at the end of the six-month period. Additionally, fellows will present their work to the EcoDev Research team, with opportunities to share insights at public events.
How to Apply
If you’re passionate about exploring new Ethereum use cases and are ready to contribute to groundbreaking research, we encourage you to apply! Please submit your application with your background details and a one-page research proposal by November 15, 2024.
