About the Role

Scientific American seeks a general science news reporter who can immediately jump on the news of the day — whether it’s a dinosaur discovery, a natural disaster or disease outbreak, or a cultural trend that could use a science explainer. The optimal candidate will have a keen eye for what makes a compelling science news story and enthusiasm for all fields of science.

Their writing should be fast, smart and always accurate; they should love the excitement of covering live news as it breaks; and must be able to write multiple stories a day, sometimes posting a paragraph at a time so they can be the first to publish. This is a great opportunity for early-career reporters looking to develop their skills and work towards getting their own beat. The reporter will work closely with Scientific American’s beat editors and the rest of the editorial staff, including engagement editors and our multimedia team.

This role is based in our New York, Washington DC, or London offices on a hybrid working model.
