About the New America Fellows Program:
New America’s Fellows Program invests in thinkers—journalists, scholars, filmmakers, and public policy analysts—who generate big, bold ideas that have an impact and spark new conversations about the most pressing issues of our day.

Fellows advance ideas through research, reporting, analysis, and storytelling. We look for projects, books primarily, that are original and ambitious, with viable plans for their implementation. There is no set template for a successful fellowship project. Some projects focus on furthering a new public policy idea through either a domestic or international lens, while others illuminate longstanding dilemmas of American life from new angles.

Disclaimer
As a matter of commitment, policy, and law, New America is an equal opportunity employer.

Given the volume of applications that we receive, we ask that under no circumstances should candidates contact a member of New America's Board of Directors or staff about the status of their application. Doing so may disqualify your application.
