Editorial experience is not required, as full training is given, although applicants with significant editorial experience are encouraged to apply and will potentially be considered for the Senior Editor position.
The position is offered on a full-time, permanent basis and can be based in our Philadelphia, New York, Jersey City, and Washington DC offices on a hybrid working pattern (average of 2 days a week in the office monthly).
