Associate or Senior Editor, Nature Climate Change
Nature Research is a flagship portfolio of journals, products and services including Nature and the Nature-branded journals, dedicated to serving the scientific community.
Job Title: Associate or Senior Editor, Nature Climate Change
Location
London, Berlin or New York
Nature Climate Change is a multi-disciplinary journal publishing high-quality research related to all aspects of climate change. The journal’s scope includes both the natural and social sciences and economics.
We now have an opening to join our team as an Associate or Senior Editor. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to help shape the social science content of the journal. The candidate must have a PhD, and preferably postdoctoral experience, with a strong research record in an area of environmental social science. The ideal candidate will have a quantitative background and a demonstrably broad interest in the social, economic and policy basis of environmental and climate issues across geographical and temporal scales. Editorial experience would be beneficial, but is not required.
Our professional editors make the final decision on what we publish. The successful applicant will play an important role in determining the representation of policy and socio-economic dimensions of climate change, and more broadly the social sciences and humanities, in the journal. They will work closely with the other editors on the on-going development of Nature Climate Change and all aspects of the editorial process, including manuscript selection, commissioning and editing of Comments, Perspectives, Reviews and News & Views, and writing for the journal. A key aspect of the job is liaising with the academic community through institutional visits and international conferences, as well as engaging with stakeholders.
This is a demanding and intellectually stimulating position. Broad scientific knowledge and training, excellent literary skills, the ability to absorb new areas of research, and a keen interest in the practice and communication of research are prerequisites. The successful candidate must, therefore, be dynamic and outgoing and have excellent interpersonal skills.
The position is offered on a full-time, permanent basis, and will be located in our London, Berlin or New York office. Please indicate your choice of location in your application, and note that you should already have the right to live and work in that location.
Applicants must provide
• a CV, including your class of degree and a brief account of your research and other relevant experience;
• a brief cover letter explaining your interest in the position and your salary expectation;
• a Research Highlight (200 words or less) on a recent paper from the climate change literature;
• an outline for a special issue of Nature Climate Change, featuring 3-4 commissioned review or opinion pieces with suggested authors.
Nature Climate Change is part of a dynamic editorial and publishing environment that also includes Nature, Nature Energy and Nature Human Behaviour. For more information about Nature Climate Change, visit our website at http://www.nature.com/nclimate
The closing date for applications is 24 July 2017.
