Summary:

"This is a rare and exciting opportunity to help develop and shape the social science content of this leading open access journal. Applicants should have a PhD in the relevant discipline, and preferably postdoctoral experience, with a strong research record. The ideal candidate will have a quantitative background and a demonstrably broad interest in the social, economic and policy basis of environmental, climate and sustainability issues across different geographical and temporal scales.

The successful candidate will join our Earth science team and, alongside the Team Manager and three editors from across the climate- and geo-sciences, will work on all aspects of the editorial process, including manuscript selection and peer review, the commissioning and editing of Reviews, and the writing of Editorials.

These are demanding and intellectually stimulating positions. 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 science are all required. Applicants should be dynamic, outgoing and have excellent interpersonal skills.

A key aspect of the job is liaising with the scientific community through laboratory visits and international conferences — willingness to travel is essential.

This role is located in either our London or New York office. All applicants must be able to demonstrate the right to live and work in the respective country to be considered for the position. The position is offered on a full-time, permanent basis.

Applicants should include a CV, a covering letter explaining their interest in the post and their preferred office of employment, and a separate concise (400 words) discussion of recent scientific developments that you found particularly exciting (stating why).

The closing date for applications is: June 5th, 2017"
