Are you a regular Planet Money listener and fan? Are ready to hit the phones in search of the perfect character? To read the footnotes of CRS reports? To record the sound of a self-checkout machine over and over until you get it just right? To be proud of your weird interests and follow them as far as you can? To pitch story, after story, after story? To transcribe some tape? To write copy for npr.org and our social media accounts?

We’re a team of deeply curious economics and business reporters, and we love telling stories. We work out of NPR’s office in New York City (no Tiny Desk concerts here, sorry).

We’d love to have you along for the journey, even if it’s just for a few months – we love to teach, and we’re looking for someone who’s eager to learn.

If this sounds like something you can throw yourself into for a summer, please apply! We’ll be in touch.
