*Locum Associate or Senior Editor, Nature Nanotechnology*

*Fixed Term Contract (Maternity Leave cover)*

*Location: London, Berlin, New York or Shanghai*

*Closing date: 14th August 2022*

Nature Nanotechnology — a prestigious international monthly journal covering all areas of nanoscience and technology — is seeking a locum Associate or Senior Editor to join its editorial team to work on all aspects of the journal.

The ideal candidate should have a PhD (or equivalent) and preferably postdoctoral experience, and should be able to demonstrate a general interest in other areas of research beyond their own. Editorial experience would be beneficial, but is not required.

We are particularly keen to hear from applicants with expertise in nanomedicine or biomedical engineering, but we will also consider candidates with broad interests from other areas of bionanotechnology.

The successful candidate will play an important role in determining the representation of their field in the journal, and will work closely with the other editors on all aspects of the editorial process, including manuscript selection, management of the peer review process, commissioning and editing reviews and comment pieces, and writing for the journal. A key aspect of the job is liaising with the scientific community through international conferences and lab visits (online or in person).

This is a challenging and intellectually stimulating position for someone with a keen interest in the practice and communication of science and with exceptional interpersonal skills. Broad scientific interests, excellent literary skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks in a timely fashion is a prerequisite.

The position is offered on a full-time, fixed term contract basis, and will be located in our London, Berlin, New York or Shanghai office.
