WSJ seeks Justice Department reporter

The Wall Street Journal’s Washington bureau is looking for a top-notch reporter to take on a high-profile beat covering the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department.

The ideal candidate would be a proven newshound who wants to break the big stories and is adept at covering a panoply of issues including national security, terrorism, threats to elected officials, cybercrime, financial crime and public corruption.

We are looking for someone with a track record of source development and the ability to file quickly on fast-developing breaking news. Ability to work as part of a team is crucial, as is the desire to write big picture stories that take readers inside government investigations and decision-making.

Please include a resume, cover letter and up to six published clips with your online application.
