This is a fellowship from Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy. It is a self-directed fellowship for leaders and scholars working at the intersection of media, technology, politics, and public policy. They welcome mid- to senior-career professionals from a wide range of backgrounds, including journalists, news influencers and creators, civic tech and media innovators, nonfiction authors and scholars in fields like political science or media studies, as well as policymakers, political advisors, and policy analysts. There are “limited funds available to support a few fellows who advance a more substantial research project and more deeply engage with our community during their fellowship term” which include:

• High-profile leaders—such as prominent journalists, technologists, or public figures—pursuing significant research projects and active involvement with the Center and our broader research community. (Walter Shorenstein fellows)
• Authors working on nonfiction books related to media, politics, and public policy. (Rosenthal Writers-in-Residence)
• Technologists or scholars exploring how technology shapes the information ecosystem. (Schuster fellow)

Also, “Fellows work independently on projects developed in collaboration with the Center. All fellowships are one year in length and mostly remote, though Boston-based fellows are welcome to use the Center’s on-campus resources. Travel stipends to Cambridge may be available for fellows participating in events or campus activities.” Applications are rolling, via a form on the website, and onboarding is in September and January of each year.
