National Correspondent, Science

New York Times • United States, United States • 3w ago

The mission (https://www.nytco.com/company/mission-and-values/) of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It's why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It's why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it's why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it's worth paying for.

The Science desk of the New York Times is looking for a creative, energetic reporter to cover scientific research in America. We're looking for someone who can tap and cultivate a large and diverse network of sources in order to bring us stories that capture the excitement and human stakes of scientific discovery at a tumultuous moment in American history: major investments and funding cuts, rising and falling academic stars, A.I.'s growing influence, intensifying competition with China, the personalities and pressures behind pathbreaking research, disputes over authorship and academic integrity, and more. The ideal candidate will be an elegant writer with a mastery of narrative writing as well as news and explanatory pieces, and possess a proven ability to translate complex subjects for a general audience.

This is a remote position based in the U.S. and will require extensive travel.

Responsibilities:

You will file frequently at a range of lengths and forms - news, explainers, features - and be excited about participating in formats, like visual explainers and video.

You will write clear, concise, and engaging stories that pull in readers while adhering to standards and style guidelines.

You will use established and develop additional sources to land exclusive stories to cover this beat authoritatively.

You will monitor news and deliver a steady stream of story ideas that help explain the beat.

You will collaborate with colleagues across the newsroom.

Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.

This role reports to a Science editor.

Basic Qualifications:

7+ years of journalism experience

Experience writing about complex subjects with elegance, sensitivity and fairness

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience working as a reporter in high-pressure, deadline-driven newsrooms

A strong understanding of Times style and standards

A willingness to be flexible as the newsroom's needs evolve

This position is represented by the NewsGuild of NY.
