Senior Investigative Editor

The Conversation U.S. is an independent, nonprofit media organization that publishes daily news analysis and explanatory journalism written by academics and edited by journalists for the general public. We take our work seriously, but we also offer a fun and flexible work culture with great benefits and many opportunities to shine, grow and make a difference. We will consider candidates working remotely in locations across the U.S. We currently have offices in Boston and New York and can offer a hybrid of in-person and work-from-home for candidates in those cities. The Conversation is deeply committed to inclusion and diversity. We encourage members of traditionally underrepresented groups, including those who are Black, Latino/a, Asian American, Indigenous and LGBTQ, or armed services veterans or those with disabilities, to apply to join our team. This is a new position at The Conversation, and we are looking for someone who thrives in a start-up environment and is eager not only to lead but to help create and iterate a new path for academics and journalists to work together for the public good. The ideal candidate will have a track record of creating impactful investigative journalism, including stellar research, reporting, writing, and editing skills, and experience working in a team and in partnership with other news organizations and academic experts.
