Nature Microbiology, a new journal to launch in January 2016, seeks to appoint Associate Editors to join a team dedicated to publishing the world’s best original research in all areas of microbiology. The successful candidate will play a key role in launching the new journal and determining how the field of microbiology is represented – through the selection and preparation of manuscripts for publication and by acting as Nature Microbiology’s interface with the relevant parts of the research community. These are demanding and intellectually stimulating positions, and call for a keen interest in the practice and communication of science.
The ideal candidate will have a strong track record of research in microbiology. Experience working in an area related to Environmental microbiology and/or the analysis of Microbiomes would be preferred.
Applicants should hold or expect shortly to receive a PhD or equivalent degree.
This position will be based in Nature’s London office.
Please apply by sending your CV, covering letter (including your class of degree, a brief account of your research and other relevant experience, and details of your current salary) and a concise discussion of recent scientific developments which you have found particularly exciting (stating why).
