The Humanities Council’s Program in Journalism at Princeton University is now accepting applications for Visiting Ferris Professors of Journalism and Visiting McGraw Professors of Writing. Full-time and part-time positions are available for one-semester terms in Fall 2026 or Spring 2027.
Journalists from a range of backgrounds and media are encouraged to apply by October 15, 2025. In addition to print journalists, the program welcomes high-level practitioners of audio and data journalism.
Full-time visitors take formal leave from daily journalism to devote themselves to teaching. They must be on campus four days a week, attend all faculty gatherings, and participate in University life. They give talks, participate in panels, advise students, and join in events.
Part-time visitors must spend two full days on campus each week for the 12-week term, as well as during the week of Reading Period. Part-time professors are expected to attend faculty gatherings and relevant JRN events whenever possible.
