<h1>Nature Publishing Group</h1>
<h2>Life Science Editor - Nature Communications</h2>
Nature Publishing Group (NPG) is a division of Macmillan Publishers Ltd,
dedicated to serving the academic, professional scientific and medical
communities.
<br><br>
Nature Communications is an innovative multidisciplinary science
journal, and it is the flagship, Nature-branded fully Open Access
journal. The journal publishes high-quality research from the breadth of
the natural sciences and has already developed a strong track record in
these disciplines.
<br><br>
We now have exciting opportunities for biology editors to join our
editorial team. The ideal candidate will have a PhD (or equivalent), and
preferably postdoctoral experience, in an area of the biological
sciences. Candidates with a background in the study of evolutionary
biology, palaeontology, biotechnology, immunology or microbiology are
particularly encouraged to apply. Editorial experience would be
beneficial, but is not required.
<br><br>
Reporting to a Team Manager (biological sciences), the successful
candidates 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. This role will also entail significant liaison with the
scientific community and other Nature research journal editors in UK, US
and China.
<br><br>
This is a demanding and intellectually stimulating position. Broad
scientific knowledge and training, excellent literary skills and a keen
interest in the practice and communication of science are a
prerequisite. The successful candidates must therefore have excellent
communication and interpersonal skills. The salary and benefits will be
competitive, reflecting the critical importance and responsibilities of
this role.
<br><br>
The role can be located in our London or New York office.
<br><br>
All applicants must be able to demonstrate the right to live and work in
the UK or US in order to be considered for these positions.
<br><br>
Applicants should include a CV, a covering letter explaining their
interest in the post and a Research Highlights piece in the style of
Nature Cell Biology (300 words) on a recent paper from a related
discipline.
<br><br>
Closing date: 21st September 2015
