The Open Notebook's Early-Career Fellowship is a paid, part-time, 12-month remote program in which early-career science journalists worldwide write four published articles under weekly mentorship from an experienced science journalist, supported by a $6,600 stipend. The 2027 cycle is expected to open by late September 2026 with an anticipated deadline of October 31, 2026 (per secondary listings), and applicants outside the U.S. are explicitly welcome.
