WSJ seeks data journalist for markets in New York

The Wall Street Journal is seeking a journalist to join its finance and markets team, working in the red-hot center of our daily journalism operation.

This candidate will collaborate with reporters, editors and the graphics team to provide data for daily deadlines and longer-term art and visualization projects. The right candidate will be comfortable working with statistics for the financial markets and companies, familiar with digital tools such as Excel, Access and SQL as well as comfortable working in the Adobe Creative Suite.

Familiarity with at least one scripting language related to data analysis or knowledge of front-end programming like HTML, CSS and JavaScript is an asset. This is a great post for someone beginning in the field, and will be a springboard for greater responsibilities as a data journalist and storyteller.

Above all, this person must be adaptable, curious, and always up for an intellectual adventure.

To apply, go here.
