Every year, the Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT offers fellowships to science journalists from around the globe, giving them an opportunity to learn at some of the top research universities in the world and explore science, technology, and the craft of journalism.
A fellowship at KSJ is an unparalleled opportunity to hone your skills, deepen your knowledge, and tap into the rich network of experts in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Fellows’ time is divided between activities arranged by the KSJ staff and self-directed activities.
This year, KSJ will run simultaneous application cycles for two of its fellowship programs. Both the Academic-Year Fellowship and the Africa and Middle East Fellowship are accepting applications until January 15, 2025.
