The Program in Journalism at Princeton University, and its academic home, the Council of the Humanities, welcome proposals from journalists to teach seminars in journalism and creative nonfiction as Visiting Ferris Professors of Journalism.

Full-time and part-time positions are available for one-semester terms: Fall 2026 or Spring 2027. 

The Journalism program and the Humanities Council share a local and global vision that spans disciplines and borders. We view a strong, ethical, and representational press as essential to participatory democracy, and we champion innovation, public engagement, collaboration, diversity, inclusion, and access.

Journalists from a range of backgrounds and media are encouraged to apply. In addition to print journalism, we welcome high-level practitioners of audio and data journalism. Full-time visitors take a 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.

Seminars meet once a week for three hours, with enrollment limited to 15. Students devote about six hours a week to class preparation. Every week or two, students submit assignments, which the professor critiques during mandatory one-on-one writing conferences. Professors often invite guest speakers and arrange a class visit to a newspaper or magazine.

For fullest consideration please apply by October 15, 2025, at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/39642. 

The Selection committee aims to complete its work by February 2026.
