New York Times seeks artificial intelligence/future tech investigative reporter

The New York Times seeks a reporter to investigate how algorithms, artificial intelligence, robots and technology are influencing our lives, our businesses, our privacy and the future.

This deeply-informed reporter will be able to understand and explain complex technologies while investigating the people and companies behind them. They will be expected to discover and cultivate sources and contacts and to break ground reporting on issues that many companies would rather go uncovered. They will also be comfortable with – and even capable of – a variety of computer-assisted reporting techniques. The reporter will work on a small team and be interested in telling stories through multiple mediums including interactive graphics, virtual reality, audio, video and of course the written word.

This is a guild position.

To apply:

Along with your cover letter, please provide at least three clips, at least one demonstrating investigative reporting. You can attach this in the “My Experience & Resume/CV” area of the application.
