The Wall Street Journal seeks a columnist to analyze the numbers behind the news.
In addition to possessing advanced numeracy, the ideal columnist will be a strong and lively writer who can help readers understand numbers in the news and in surprising ways—in business, in politics, in the arts, in demographic trends and in sports.
The right columnist will show us how studies or statistics can be misleading or biased. He or she will explain the valid way to look at these stats. The tone of the column can range from sober to funny, depending on the topic. Most importantly, it should cut through spin and cacophony to bring true clarity.
