How you’ll make an impact:

The Freakonomics Radio Network makes Freakonomics Radio, one of the world's most popular podcasts, and a growing slate of other shows. Our work reaches millions of listeners in podcast apps and on public radio. We're looking for a talented, experienced journalist and researcher to help us grow the network and work on new projects as well as our existing shows.

Who you are:

You might currently be a reporter or audio producer; you might be working as an analyst or a researcher; you might have spent time in graduate school. But you have a strong background in the social sciences or data analysis and a demonstrated interest in evidence-based ideas and rigorous research. You're comfortable with technical and academic material and curious about the world around you.

You're good at managing processes, solving problems, keeping multiple balls in the air, and sweating the small stuff. You can write quickly, clearly, and even delightfully. You're committed to telling great stories and getting the facts right.

If you've worked in podcasts or public radio, that's great, but we're open to people without an audio background too. An appreciation for great audio storytelling is a plus, though.

What you’ll do:

• Contribute to the creative and editorial development of new shows and formats

• Manage launches and build production processes

• Pitch and investigate episode ideas

• Identify and interview guests

• Draft and edit scripts

• Ensure consistent high quality at every stage of production

• Supervise junior staff

What you’ll need:

• At least 3 years of experience in journalism or another research-oriented field, in a deadline-driven environment

• A bachelor’s degree or higher, preferably in the behavioral or social sciences

• Excellent writing samples

• Scrupulous attention to detail

• Familiarity with Freakonomics Radio

• Our team is based in New York, but we'll consider a remote arrangement for the right candidate.

• Our production schedule sometimes involves weekend and evening work, with commensurate time off provided.

• You might be asked to travel occasionally.

• Must have a legal right to work in the U.S

At SiriusXM, we carefully consider a wide range of factors when determining compensation, including your background and experience. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary.
