The New York Times offers fellowship – Upshot

Join the 2024 New York Times Fellowship class as a data reporter on the Upshot team in New York.

The Upshot fellow will gather data, analyze it and create news articles or graphics to share this analysis.

Applicants should demonstrate comfort with both basic statistical analysis and traditional reporting. They should also have some programming skills (in R, Python or a similar language), enjoy learning new technology and be interested in collaborating with reporters or graphics editors. The most competitive candidates will be strong data journalists who have a track record of using statistics and data analysis to drive their reporting.

This program is for early-career journalists. Applicants with more than five years of full-time, professional journalism experience beyond school will not be considered. The most competitive candidates will be college graduates or postgraduates or career pivoters of any age who have had multiple internships or equivalent experience in open-source intelligence and related fields.

To apply, upload a résumé, cover letter and three writing clips and/or data-reporting work samples, packaged in that order and uploaded as one single .pdf or .doc file that is under 5 MB in size. Include the full text of your clips, not just the links. The application will prompt candidates when to upload materials. In your résumé or cover letter, include an explanation of your role for any work samples. Applications that fail to include any of these materials or follow these instructions will not be considered.

Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. We will not sponsor work visas for the fellowship, but we may consider you if you have an existing work visa or a valid student visa that can be extended via Optional Practical Training.

Applicants may apply to only one fellowship position per year. For instance, if you apply as an Upshot fellow, you should not apply for any other positions in the fellowship. Duplicate applications will be discarded.

The deadline to submit an application is 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Dec. 1. Our advice is to apply well before the deadline.

Keep in mind that the fellowships are very competitive and generate a high level of interest. We will not accept applications that are mailed or emailed to us. Nor will we acknowledge the status of every application upon receipt or during the vetting process, which can take eight weeks or more. We will contact you for interviews as needed.

This position is represented by the NewsGuild of NY.
