A MacDowell Fellowship, or residency, consists of use of a private studio, simple yet comfortable accommodations, and three prepared meals a day for up to six weeks. There are no residency fees, and we offer financial assistance to those with demonstrated financial need. Additionally, nonfiction writers engaged in long-form journalism projects are eligible to apply for small project grants through a fund endowed by the Calderwood Charitable Foundation. Project grants of up to $2,500 are awarded to individuals who have been awarded a MacDowell Fellowship under the Literature category and based on financial need, the scope of their project, and availability of funds.

MacDowell artists are most successful when they arrive with an open mind and without specific pre-conceived expectations of their residency experience. We strive to offer a joyful and supportive environment. Our Fellows are obliged to adhere to the MacDowell Community Agreement that speaks to our respect for artists and their creative process and asks in return for curiosity, generosity, and goodwill within the resident community, so that Fellows may participate in the enriching exchange that has given rise to countless friendships and cross-disciplinary collaborations.

Artists accepted to a MacDowell residency are responsible for bringing or shipping all materials, tools, and equipment they need to work on their projects. This includes any special supplies, technology, or instruments specific to their discipline, as MacDowell does not provide a full range of materials.

The Stigler Center Journalists in Residence Program at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business offers a unique learning opportunity for journalists worldwide across all media platforms. The program is designed to cultivate the next generation of leaders in business reporting. During the 12-week residency at our Hyde Park campus, selected participants will audit Chicago Booth classes, attend events, collaborate with peers, and engage with some of the university’s most esteemed scholars.

Journalists with several years of media experience, strong English skills, and a desire to deepen their knowledge of political economy are encouraged to apply.

Applications for the 2025 program are now open and must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Chicago time on Sunday, October 13, 2024.

The 2025 program is scheduled to run from approximately March 19 - May 31, 2025.

The editorial fellowship is a demanding, research-intensive foray into investigative journalism. While fellows spend a large portion of their time fact-checking, the fellowship also offers extensive experience in writing and reporting stories, from breaking news to long enterprise pieces. Fellows work closely with reporters and editors on fact-checking, research, and reporting. You’ll receive training in every aspect of the editorial process, from research tools and methods to media law, and have opportunities to learn magazine pitching, explore news writing, and hone your reporting, writing, and investigative skills. You’ll attend regular skill-building sessions covering topics that span the operations of a media organization.

Editorial fellows work closely on our award-winning bimonthly print magazine. By fact-checking our investigations, columns, and other reported pieces, fellows reverse-engineer a reporter’s work and learn what it takes to report, organize, and write a sophisticated magazine story. Fellows are also expected and encouraged to report on subjects including national and regional politics, climate change, the justice system, reproductive rights, and culture. This year in particular, we’re looking for candidates who are excited to pitch in on our election coverage.

Fellows may also become involved in various digital projects—working on our newsletters, helping with web production, working on the podcast Reveal, and aiding our Climate Desk partnership—depending on interest and need.

We’re looking for candidates with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Some of our current fellows have had previous journalism jobs, while others are working in a newsroom for the first time. Candidates should be curious, driven, hardworking, and excited about our mission to inspire change through hard-hitting reporting. If you believe that you could excel in this role, we encourage you to apply.

Mother Jones has offices in San Francisco, Washington, DC, and New York City. Many editorial staff are currently working remotely. The 2024-2025 fellowship cycle will be remote, but fellows living near one of our bureaus would be welcome to come into the office if they choose. We encourage interested candidates who live outside these cities to also apply. Fellows are required to be able to work in the US.

This is a union position. The terms of this job are covered under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement with Local 2103, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, AFL-CIO.
