Bloomberg seeks a biotech reporter

Bloomberg News is seeking a Biotechnology Reporter based in Boston or San Francisco who can break news on important scientific developments, explain complicated medical concepts and technology to our vast audience of investors, businesspeople and decision makers, and show how what’s happening in the clinic matters to the rest of the world.

Biotechnology is more important than ever in a world that has been reshaped by a pandemic, and this role will require a reporter who is comfortable with collaborating across our newsroom on stories that answer big questions about health care, defense and preparedness, finance and macroeconomics.

You’ll need to have:
