Business Insider is hiring an Ideas Reporter

Are you curious to know why people flourish or fail? Do you want to know where society is going? When something weird happens on the Internet, do you demand to know why?

If you answered yes to those questions, then you'd probably flourish as an Ideas Reporter for Business Insider.

It's basically a nerd dream come true.

It'll be your job to find the most fascinating angles on humanity's attempts to understand itself, pulling in the news from the social sciences, urbanism, identity politics and beyond - then serving it up to millions of readers.

To get the gig, you'll need:

Broad intellectual interests

A love of the news

An eye for what pops on the social web

The ability to make complex ideas easy to understand

About two years worth of journalism experience
