Engaging with our external editorial board- guiding and assisting external editors with the tasks listed above, as well as recruitment and training of new board members.
Liaising extensively with editors at other journals across Springer Nature and with experts in the international scientific community.
Attending conferences and visiting research institutions.
Commissioning various content including Reviews and Comment articles and writing Editorials.
Contributing to journal strategy and editorial policies.
To be considered for the position, you will have:
A PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant biology discipline. Post-doctoral experience would be advantageous but not essential.
A genuine passion for scientific communication and promoting rigor and transparency in reporting research.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and be fluent in English (written and spoken).
The ability to read and assess the novelty, context and implications of research submitted to the journal from different areas of the biological sciences.
A desire to interact with scientists worldwide, learn more about them and their research, and help them learn more about us and what we are looking for in the papers we seek to publish.
Editorial experience is not required, although applicants with significant editorial experience are encouraged to apply and will potentially be considered for Senior Editor positions. The position is offered on a full-time basis and will be located in in one of our US or London offices on a hybrid working pattern.
