ProPublica is seeking an accountability reporter to cover climate change as an investigative beat, examining how decisions by individuals, corporations and governments are shaping life-and-death outcomes for people across the U.S. and the world. The ideal candidate will be versed in climate science, and will be a systems thinker with experience writing about complex subject matter, familiarity with business and economics, and a knack for gripping storytelling. The reporter will work independently and with colleagues across ProPublica to craft investigations that surprise, probe deeply, test underlying assumptions, and trace the real-world effects of climate change back to their causes and to those who are responsible for them. 

This job is full time and includes benefits. ProPublica is based in New York, but we’re open to remote candidates. We have offices in New York City; Washington, D.C.; Atlanta; Chicago; Austin, Texas; Phoenix; and Berkeley, California. Applicants must be eligible to work in the U.S.

The expected salary range for this position is $95,000 to $170,000.
