Quartz seeks health and medical reporter

Quartz seeks a reporter to lead its coverage of health and medicine globally as part of its technology and science reporting group.

You would be part of the growing Quartz team in New York, and help shape our efforts to take bracingly creative approaches to covering business news. Health and medical topics we’ve covered recently have ranged from a complete guide to getting over a cold to research on the connection between vitamin D and prostate cancer. Developing fresh ways to look at research developments, medical/biotech industry trends, and consumer health topics and translate them into interesting, provocative articles, with a solid grounding in data, is a central challenge of this job.

We are looking for someone with professional reporting experience, a facility with data, an entrepreneurial approach to their work, and the ability to convey curiosity and subtle humor in their writing. The reporter should feel comfortable with using formats other than 700-word articles (such as shorter pieces, photos, and charts) when they’re better for efficiently and effectively getting a story across. International experience and languages are a plus.

To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, and five links to relevant work. The links matter most.
