About the role

The Atlantic is seeking a curious, ambitious journalist to cover Americans’ changing health habits. This staff writer will explore how we eat, exercise, sleep, and what we choose to avoid, analyzing trends with a critical eye for sources and claims. The ideal candidate has substantial experience reporting for a broad audience on health, wellness, or science, with strong writing, reporting, and sourcing abilities, and a taste for longer, analytical magazine storytelling.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
