The Open Notebook offers a paid, part-time fellowship program for early-career science journalists (less than three years' experience) anywhere in the world.

During the course of this fellowship, fellows work with a mentor to plan, report, and write articles for publication at The Open Notebook and become part of the TON editorial team. This one-year program offers fellows the opportunity to explore their career interests and passions and to sharpen their skills as part of a talented, supportive, diverse community of past and present fellows and mentors. This fellowship is made possible through the generous support of the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, which has supported this program since 2012.

The next remote, part-time fellowship begins February 23, 2026, and includes a stipend of $6,600.

Deadline: Oct 31, 2025
