Business Insider is looking for a talented editor to join our science team. This person will focus on a range of topics, from space and engineering to health, fitness, and nutrition.

As our science editor, you'll manage a team of reporters and interns who are as obsessed and talented as you are. In addition to editing, planning content, coming up with story ideas, writing will be a top priority.

Apply if:

  • You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative setting.
  • You have experience managing and inspiring a team.
  • You know how to stay on top of a beat and quickly produce awesome, high-impact stories.
  • You can decrypt complex developments and make science exciting for a general audience.
  • You can bring unique context to trending news and make those stories your own.

Our style is smart, conversational, and geared toward non-scientists. Careful attention to detail and an ability to be efficient in a quick-turnaround environment are skills that are absolutely required for this job. We also prize agility in and enthusiasm for tackling wildly different topics - from the latest fitness trends to the growing problem of climate change to new developments in space and medicine.

Our aim is to help readers engage with the world around them in as many smart, creative ways as possible. Science is everywhere.

As the leader of a small team, talents for efficient delegation and guidance are key. The role will also help the team establish and nurture productive, attention-grabbing beats.

While this position has regular office hours, the ideal candidate is always keeping an eye out for the next big story. After-hours duties may also include helping retain our Science Friday trivia champion title over rival publications.

Apply here if interested. Please include a resume, clips, and a cover letter telling us what excites you about science reporting.

Business Insider offers competitive compensation packages complete with benefits. This is a full-time position based in our NYC office.
