Purpose of role

Guardian US is looking for a reporter to cover the fossil fuel industry’s influence on US politics, climate policy and social attitudes, and the climate lawsuits brought by a number of US cities and states against the industry.

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter who will come with a sheaf of ideas they’d like to pursue. They would also have an interest in, and some experience of, investigative and data reporting, as the goal of this series is to break news as well as report it. And they understand the Guardian's lens on this crucial topic. This role will be part of our special project on fossil fuels and climate, and follows on from our first year of coverage.
