The AMS Congressional Fellowship is funded by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to improve public understanding of science and technology by placing advanced science, mathematics and engineering students in newsrooms nationwide. Applicants may be students and postdoctoral fellows in the USA. Applicants must be in the life, physical, health, engineering, computer or social sciences or mathematics and related fields with outstanding written and oral communication skills and a strong interest in science communication and learning about the media. The fellowship provides a stipend of US$8,000 for the summer, plus travel expenses to and from AAAS and media outlets, to work for ten weeks during the summer months as reporters, researchers, and production assistants in media organizations.
Applications open in the summer and the next applications close on January 1, 2024.
