Journalist in Residence Fellowship
The Journalist in Residence Fellowship enables journalists to work as visiting scholars at the WZB for a period lasting six weeks to three months, during which they may pursue their own research. It opens up an exchange with researchers and invites fellows to participate in internal and public events.
The Journalist in Residence Fellowship was established in 2005. Since then, the WZB has welcomed journalists-in-residence every year and forged long-lasting connections with them.
Staff reporters and freelance journalists from national and international media outlets who regularly report on scientific subjects or issues in politics, society, and economy.
Six weeks to three months. The length of the residency is arranged on an individual basis.
We offer a monthly stipend of €3,500 including a fully equipped workstation. All resources in our library are available free of charge.
