MarketWatch.com seeks investing columnist

MarketWatch.com seeks a columnist who can write critically on all things investing – stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, and funds.

The successful candidate will give strong and interesting opinions on investment strategies, academic theories and daily market news in an engaging way, free of jargon. Original research, using FactSet and other tools, is important.

A flair for writing and, above all, storytelling is a must. Because the investing team is small, this reporter has to be able to work well with others and selflessly help his or her teammates with ideas and inspiration. Of course, the reporter will be out front in video, radio and social media.

The position is based in either New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington D.C. or Boston. A minimum of five years of experience.

To apply, go here.
