The Boston Globe is hiring a meteorologist to anchor its new weather team, expanding our coverage of daily weather, extreme events, and the science behind it all. We’re looking for a candidate with a degree in meteorology who also has experience in both daily weather forecasting as well as a desire to dig deep and tell compelling stories.
The team meteorologist will be the face of our weather expansion effort, building out the initiative, together with the weather editor. This person will lead our forecasting efforts, offering regular, daily projections in the form of written forecasts and reported stories, live blogs and other alternative story formats, as well as occasional appearances on video and TV. The candidate will also oversee major weather events throughout New England, heading up our severe weather coverage as a voice that readers turn to and trust. In addition, the meteorologist will work closely with our team of multimedia and data journalists, overseeing the forecasting technology, to ensure accuracy of projections.
The Globe’s approach to weather coverage aims to go beyond the frequent forecasts and breaking events that often dominate. We aim to tell readers what these weather patterns mean and why they matter – both to our daily commutes and to our communities in the years to come. The team meteorologist will thus be asked to conceive of and write thoughtful stories on the science behind our weather patterns, offering readers a 360 degree view of our weather patterns and why they matter.
