Graduating college seniors and recent graduates are invited to apply for the First Things junior fellows program. The junior fellows work closely with the editors to produce the magazine and its website.The one-year, full-time fellowship (which is normally extended to a second year) includes housing and a modest stipend.
Please send a resume, a 250-word description of what you want to learn from the fellowship, a writing sample of no more than 2,000 words, and three references (one should know your writing or editorial experience) to [email protected].
Applications are due March 31.
