Curriculum Vitae:
CV (or resume) is required.
Personal Statement:
Statement of purpose essay
Given the nature of the STJR program, we look at both the content of the statement and the quality of the writing. Questions that the statement typically should address include the following: How did you become interested in science and technology journalism? What background do you bring to the field? Why does our program interest you? What might you envision doing during your career?
The writing should be clear, concise, well organized, and mechanically correct. It need not be fancy.
Recommendation Letter:
Three completed recommendations
During the online application process, you will be asked for the names and email addresses of three recommenders. These individuals will then be emailed instructions for providing their recommendations.
Writing Sample:
You should also provide a CV (or resume) and samples of your writing, published or otherwise. These items should be emailed to Dr. Barbara Gastel (click here to send an e-mail).
