The Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS), a private, nonprofit research institute, offers journalists a three- to six-month paid stay.
The program “Journalist in Residence” enables fellows to deal in depth with different research topics, without the pressure of daily business. Activities during the stay include meeting with researchers, a public presentation and a seminar and preparation of publications (not mandatory). The journalists are free to pursue their own agenda.
Fellows will be provided with a workplace with a PC and a monthly stipend of EUR€5,000 (US$6,530).
Applications should include a proof of journalistic work in the area of science and technology, a presentation of the key areas of his or her journalistic work and a rough plan for the stay, a CV, up to five relevant work samples and a letter of recommendation from the applicant's editor (for staff journalist).
Good knowledge of written and spoken English is expected. At least basic knowledge of German is recommended.
The application deadline is Sept. 15.
