Overview
At Cointelegraph Research we are assembling a world-class Research team with a clear ambition: to set the intellectual benchmark for the Web3 era.
Our mission is to produce in-depth, structured, and impactful research that not only explains where the space is going - but actively shapes its direction. We’re creating a space where serious academics and analysts can meaningfully contribute to the development of decentralized technologies through knowledge, precision, and intellectual depth.
We believe the crypto industry deserves the same analytical rigor and depth that define the world’s best academic and financial institutions.
This is more than just a job - This is a platform for thought leaders - a place where your research leaves a mark on the evolution of decentralized technologies and can influence founders, funds, and protocols at scale.
Who we’re looking for:
- You hold a PhD from a reputable global university or worked at the top consulting/banking firm - your academic background speaks for itself, and you've built a strong foundation in research design, analytical thinking, and structured writing.
- You have hands-on experience in research or analytics - in academia, funds, boutique research firms, consulting, or venture capital.
- Your work has informed real-world decisions - investment theses, product direction, or regulatory strategy. If unpublished, you’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate your thinking through a trial assignment.
- You’re skilled at structuring complex ideas and communicating them clearly - in both written form and visual formats.
- You work confidently with data - using tools like Python, SQL, Excel, or Jupyter to build models, analyze datasets, and extract meaningful insights.
- You know how to create dashboards and visualizations to present on-chain metrics, financial flows, and governance activity in an accessible way.
- You’ve built or contributed to trading models or financial simulations, or have experience with cash flow modeling and incentive design.
- You’re comfortable navigating fragmented primary sources - from whitepapers and GitHub repos to DAO forums, investor materials, and governance proposals.
- You thrive in autonomous environments - proactive, self-managed, and comfortable with async, distributed workflows.
What you’ll do:
- Analyze crypto ecosystems: from infrastructure and modular chains to DAO structures, DeFi models, and governance systems.
- Conduct thematic and project-level research to help readers understand what’s happening — and why it matters.
- Interpret and simplify technical documentation (whitepapers, protocol architecture, roadmaps) into clear, actionable insights.
- Track emerging trends — such as modular networks, restaking, RWAs, ZK tech — and identify narratives before they go mainstream.
- Create materials in multiple formats — from deep-dive reports and dashboards to internal memos and public-facing content.
- Work closely with editors and designers to turn your analysis into polished, widely read media products.
- Optionally - co-publish in academic journals, engage in public discussion, and build your personal reputation in the space — with full support from our editorial and research team.
Why it matters:
- Cointelegraph is the largest media ecosystem in Web3, reaching over 40 million people monthly. We don’t just report on the industry - we help shape how it thinks and evolves.
- Cointelegraph Research is a platform for meaningful intellectual impact — your work will be seen by professionals, founders, funds, regulators, and the broader media.
- Cointelegraph is deeply embedded in the Web3 ecosystem - with long-standing partnerships and mutual respect from top blockchain teams, investors, PR leaders, and builders. Your insights won’t stay locked in a PDF - they’ll reach the right audience and spark real conversations.
- We support your reputation as a researcher - from editorial support and co-authorship opportunities to distribution and recognition.
- This is your chance to be part of a team that’s not just analyzing Web3 - but helping define its trajectory with structure, scale, and substance.
Benefits:
- Fully Remote: Enjoy the freedom to work from any location around the globe.
- Generous PTO: Recharge with paid time off—because your well-being matters.
- Industry Leader: Be a part of a trailblazing organisation that sets the standard in its field.
- Career Advancement: Elevate your professional journey within a community of world-class experts.
- Continuous Learning: Experience unparalleled growth and development opportunities.
