HITS Journalist in Residence Program open

Freelance and staff journalists focusing on science and technology in print, broadcast and online media can apply for a research stay in Heidelberg, Germany.

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 and a monthly stipend of EUR5,000 (US$5,453).

Good knowledge of written and spoken English is expected. At least basic knowledge of German is recommended.

The application deadline is Sept. 15.
