We need reporters, researchers and a chemist | The Wirecutter

I am looking for writers and researchers who can obsessively research and find the best gear, equipment and stuff?electronic and not electronic. And a chemist.

Please read this entire note before applying. Any notes that do not follow instructions will not be considered.

For The Wirecutter, writers and reporters needed:
I?m looking for people who can easily spend a few dozen hours researching, reporting and testing to find the best choices in a particular category. The work is hard but rewarding. We pay decent hourly rates, and you?ll feel good about your efforts if you?re into helping people make difficult decisions quickly so that they can get on with their lives.

Researchers
If you have between zero to three years of editorial reporting and researching experience, you could be a researcher for us, with a chance to write after a while. This is a good job for someone in college or fresh out of college who can commit to working about 10-20 hours a week.

You must have coursework or experience in journalism or other research-intensive majors and jobs. You also have to be organized and efficient and effective at looking up and logging products online in spreadsheets.

To apply, send an email with ?researcher? in the subject line to jobs@thewirecutter.com explaining why you?d be right for the job and what you?ve done in the past. No attachments, please.

Reporters
If you have?at least three years of experience doing product writing and general interest reporting, I?d like to invite you to apply to write for the site. Don?t worry if you?ve been doing this for awhile. Some of our best and most senior writers have been doing this kind of work for 10-15 years and they enjoy it. 95% of the job is research and reporting. 5% is writing. The best people can pick up a few beats and update them over time for us.

We are collecting general resumes right now from experienced tech/shelter reporters, but we also have specific needs for writers who can pick up.

• Health/fitness gadgets
• Bag editor (with fashion and tech writing experience)
• But to be explicit, we need general tech writers, too.

To apply, send a letter and resume (no attachments) with the subject line ?Wirecutter reporter? to jobs@thewirecutter.com explaining what you?ve done and what you want to do, and why you?d be right for the job. Don?t forget to mention the beats you?ve written about before and send some links to clips.

For our new site?
For a new project that Joel Johnson and I are working on, we need people who can do research and writing for home goods. (This is not a call for writers who work at home.) When I am asking for a home writer, I am asking for reporters who can apply the process we have at Wirecutter to home products, everything from toothpaste to tools to towels to bathroom cleaners to sheets and garden hoses. If you have experience writing about home gear, that gives you a leg up. As a researcher, if you?ve worked in a hardware store or have done home improvement, that gives you a leg up.

We could use writers and researchers with specific backgrounds in

• Kitchen equipment
• Tools
• Gardening gear
• Home improvement

To apply, send a letter and resume (no attachments) to jobs@thewirecutter.com with ?home reporter? or ?home researcher? in the subject line, explaining what you?ve done and what you want to do, and why you?d be right for the job.

Chemist
We?re looking for a chemist who can moonlight for us part time. We need solid information, in reports based on academic papers, interviews and research, on what the chemicals in home products are and what they do. We want to know if they?re less or more desirable/safe/effective than other alternatives. This extends to cleaners, medicines, lotions, soaps, but also, occasionally, things humans and pets might eat.

Pay is hourly for all the work above, and dependent on experience.

To apply, send a letter and resume (no attachments) to jobs@thewirecutter.com with ?chemist? in the subject line, explaining what you?ve done and what you want to do, and why you?d be right for the job.

Bonus tip?thoughtful applications do better than fast twitch applications. It's not a race. And if you think about what makes this site different than other sites, you will understand how to approach this job application process.
