Climate & Energy Reporter

The Observer is looking for a reporter to cover the business of climate change and energy. We’re looking for someone with a passion for the subject and a clear-eyed appreciation of its complexity. The right candidate will understand the science behind global warming, the business of fossil fuels, and the markets for carbon emissions. This beat will cover everything from the fights over solar subsidies in California to the SEC’s climate reporting requirements to Saudi Aramco’s market cap. It will also explore the science and business behind the race to build better batteries, develop sustainable agriculture and mitigate rising oceans. We want a reporter who can put the news in context, connect the dots and has an appetite for covering one of the biggest stories of this generation (or of any generation).
