Great opportunity for someone who speaks German.

Journalists from across Europe and the United States are invited to apply
for the European Journalism-Fellowships, offered by the International Center
for Journalism at Freie Universität Berlin. Participants are given the
opportunity to take a two-semester leave from their professional positions
and spend a sabbatical year of research at Freie Universität Berlin,
widening their knowledge while pursuing a major research project. At the
same time, the program enables participants to network with professional
colleagues from Eastern and Western Europe and the United States. The
program starts in October 2010 and ends in July 2011. Highly qualified
journalists in either staff positions or freelance employment with several
years of professional experience are eligible to apply. The most important
element of the fellowship application is an exposé for a
scientific-journalistic research project to be pursued in Berlin.
Applications can be submitted in German or in English. Written proof
certifying good knowledge of the German language is required for
participation (e.g. Goethe-Institut, German Academic Exchange Service).
Deadline for the application process is November 1st, 2009.
Please notice that this is a receipt deadline, not a postmark deadline.
