About the Brand

Scientific American, the oldest continuously published magazine in the U.S., reaches millions of people each month through its print magazine, app, social media and on ScientificAmerican.com. We publish expert-written opinions and feature stories; news and feature articles by leading journalists; and award-winning graphics, art and multimedia.

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.
