Fellowships
Field Stewards Pilot
A pilot fellowship training researchers to become domain-specific "field stewards" using FrontierMap methodology. Fellows conduct supervised mapping exercises on domains of their choice, producing public-facing orientation resources. Requires a bachelor's degree plus a master's/PhD or 2+ years of post-bachelor's experience.
The full Field Stewards posting returns with the refreshed openings in Fall 2026.

2026 Update: Incubator submissions are currently filled, the next round of openings will be announced in September.
Mentorship & Professional Development
Participants across JOPRO programs have access to reading groups, office hours, and peer feedback structures. These are integrated into the internship and fellowship experience rather than offered as standalone programs.
