- Writing content such as Research Highlights and Editorials.
- Contributing to defining the journal’s strategy and editorial policies.
To Be Considered for the Position, You Will Have:
- Research experience to PhD level (or equivalent) in any area of the chemical sciences. Postdoctoral experience is an advantage, but is not essential.
- A passion for science and a desire to learn more. You must be able to demonstrate the breadth of your interest in scientific research, both within and beyond your specialty.
- The ability to read and assess the novelty, context, and implications of research submitted to our journals from different disciplines.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and fluency in English (written and spoken).
- A desire to meet scientists worldwide, learn more about them and their research, and help them to learn more about us and what we are looking for in the papers that we seek to publish.
The position is offered on a full-time basis and will be based in either our Pune or Delhi office, on a hybrid working pattern. Editorial experience is not required as full training will be provided. Candidates with prior editorial experience may, however, be eligible for a Senior Editor position.
Applicants Should Send:

- a concise (300-400 words) discussion of recent scientific developments in any area related to the chemical sciences that they found particularly exciting, stating why.
