The Complex Systems Summer Journalism Fellowship is a prestigious five-week residential and immersive program that offers two accomplished journalists the opportunity to explore complex systems science more deeply. Open to national and international journalists, eligible candidates must have demonstrated interest in reporting on topics related to complex systems. Fellows receive a generous stipend for the duration of the Fellowship, including travel reimbursement.

During their residency in Santa Fe, Fellows are embedded in SFI’s iconic Complex Systems Summer School where they learn through an intensive series of lectures and labs taught by world-renowned faculty. At the end of the school, they have an additional reflective week at SFI’s main campus to interact with scientists and learn about the Institute. Armed with a new appreciation for the history of and trends in complex systems science, and the state and limitations of current scientific theory, the Fellows then return to their day-to-day reporting better prepared to convey the interrelatedness of solutions to the complex problems we face.

Applications for the 2025 CSSS Journalism Fellowship are now closed.
