Wall Street Journal seeks investigative reporter

The Wall Street Journal seeks an experienced CAR/data journalist to join its investigative team.

This person will contribute reporting and data analysis to enterprise projects and daily coverage. Working with data should be second nature to this person, who can expect to be immersed in short-, medium- and long-term stories at one of the largest newsrooms in the world.

This person should be excited to battle FOIA officers, scrape poorly formed websites and write computer code that ferrets out fraud. This job requires the ability to analyze millions (or billions) of rows of data, as well as technical proficiency in at least one programming language. Candidates must have at least three years of experience working with data in the newsroom.

Please attach a resume, cover letter and three to five published clips to your online application.
