Reuters Research
Fellowship at Oxford University
Experienced journalists interested in
pursuing a specific topic in greater detail have up till January 30,
2008 to apply for a research fellowship from the Reuters Foundation to
attend the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford
University. Fellowships last for three, six or nine months and fellows
can enter the Institute in October, January or April.
The main goal of the fellowships is to give
journalists the opportunity to pursue a research interest in greater
depth than the pressure of their jobs would normally allow.
Fellows will be assigned an academic advisor
who specializes in their chosen research field. During their time at the
Institute, fellows will be expected to produce a substantial piece of
research of publishable quality.
Interested applicants who should be
mid-career journalists with a minimum of five years experience must have
a specific research interest that they would like to pursue.
Applicants are encouraged to submit a C.V., a
short biography of up to 250 words, a reference from their employer, a
character reference, a research proposal and several samples of their
work. Priority will be given to applicants whose research proposals
match the Institute’s research interests.
Further information can be obtained from
reuters.institute@politics.ox.ac.uk or from the Foundation site http://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/fellowships/. |
