Bloomberg News is looking for an oil markets reporter to join its energy team in Dubai.

A crucial element of our market-leading product is tracking ships and building cargo-flow histories to combine with the best breaking news around.

We'll trust you to:

• Cover oil trading in the Middle East and North Africa
• Track ships and build carefully checked data sets on your findings
• Collaborate with other reporters and editors around the world
• Plan ahead for news events
• Be committed to the best journalist practices, sound judgment and willingness to learn.
