REUTERS and Durham University are accepting applications for the Sir Harry Evans Global Fellowship in Investigative Journalism.
The fellowship honors celebrated British-born journalist, editor and author Sir Harry Evans, one of the pioneers of modern investigative journalism.
Early-career journalists around the world are eligible for an investigative journalism fellowship.
The annual fellowship will provide the opportunity for an exceptional early-career journalist to receive a six-to-nine-month fellowship at Durham University.
During the fellowship, the journalist will undertake an investigative project from inside the Reuters newsroom in London.
The fellow will also be mentored by top Reuters editors in the field while being overseen by Durham University and have access to university academics and research resources.
The Fellowship commands a monthly salary of c.£4,444 (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 news or media organisation and taking a period of leave in order 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.
The submission of the application deadline is August 15, 2022. Interested applicants can apply here.
