Durham University-Sir Harry Evans Global Fellowship
Durham University is accepting applications for the Sir Harry Evans Global Fellowship, which is designed to give the applicant the chance to develop fact-based research and reporting skills.
The Fellowship provides an unrivalled opportunity for an exceptional early-career journalist: a six-to nine-month fellowship with Durham University, which will include being mentored by top Reuters editors in the field while being overseen by Durham University and having access to university academic and research resources.
The successful applicant will be notified of the outcome by Saturday, October 1, 2022. The Fellowship will commence in early 2023.
Benefits
- The successful applicant will be employed by Durham University for the period of the fellowship and will spend time on placement in the Reuters newsroom in London or with another suitable partner selected by Reuters. The successful applicant will also be allocated an appropriate academic supervisor and mentor at Durham University.
- The Fellowship commands a monthly salary of c. £4,444 per month for each month of the Fellowship (equivalent to a pro-rata salary of c. £53,333 per year), in addition to a maximum £1,250 per month living stipend, and a one-off payment of £1,800 for travel and expenses.
- Where the successful applicant is an existing employee of a company or media organisation and taking a period of leave to pursue the Fellowship, Durham University will pay up to a maximum of £12,000 to their employer to cover temporary staff costs, subject to specific terms and conditions.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Harry Evans Fellowship is a global opportunity, and they, therefore, welcome applications from all eligible candidates, regardless of their current location. The Fellowship will be undertaken in Durham and London, and the successful candidate will need to meet applicable immigration requirements. They encourage applications from members of groups who are under-represented in the media.
- Qualified applicants will be early in their careers and will have professional journalism experience.
- Where a prospective applicant is not currently a journalist but has worked in an investigative reporting capacity in a related professional field (for example: leading human rights or other socio-political publications and campaigns; working as an author or researcher on authoritative investigative work; or developing in-field photo-or video-research projects, documentaries, or exhibitions), applications may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
