Students and postdocs interested in journalism and gaining writing experience that advances a statistical perspective can apply for the AAAS Mass Media Fellowship and spend 10 weeks with a media outlet next summer. Applications will be accepted until January 1, 2025, on the AAAS website.
Led by AAAS and supported by many organizations, the fellowship is a program designed to enhance coverage of science-related issues in the media and improve public understanding of and appreciation for science and technology. The program has supported more than 700 fellows in its more than 40-year history.
The AAAS eligibility requirements include being an upper-level undergraduate or graduate student or postdoctoral trainee in a STEM field and a US citizen or holder of a visa allowing paid work in the United States. To be the ASA-sponsored AAAS Mass Media Fellow, you must have substantial statistical training. Having a statistics degree or being enrolled in a statistics program is preferred but not required.
