Job Summary Job Title Interim Associate or Senior Editor, Nature Reviews Cross-Journal (Physical Sciences).

Locations London or Pune - Hybrid working model.

This role is offered on a maternity cover basis and can be based in our London or Pune offices on a hybrid working model.

To help us build on the success of the portfolio, we are seeking an Editor with a research background in one or more areas of the physical sciences, as well as an interest in working across a broad range of topics, exceptional literary and verbal communication skills, and a keen eye for detail.

As an interim Associate or Senior Editor, you will be part of a large and interdisciplinary team of Cross-Journal Editors that work closely, and flexibly, across the Nature Reviews journals on diverse aspects of the editorial process, including editing commissioned content, organizing peer review and writing short articles. The team also produces the Research Briefing articles (short, accessible summaries of original research papers), and occasionally edits other news and opinion content, across the Nature Research Journals.

Role responsibilities

- Provide agile support to Nature Reviews journal teams across a variety of editorial tasks, showing strong collaboration, adaptability and resilience, as well as effective time management and organizational skills.
- Commission Perspective and Review articles, as well as assess proposals and submissions, demonstrating scientific comprehension and critical evaluation, the ability to provide constructive feedback, and decision quality.




- Edit Reviews and Perspective articles for clarity, tone and impact, using scientific and academic writing skills.
- Edit Research Briefing articles across diverse topics for the Nature Research Journals, demonstrating the ability to craft accessible audience-appropriate content and the confidence to work on topics outside of your core expertise.
- Strengthen the reputation of the Nature Portfolio in the scientific community by fostering good relationships with researchers, communicating and collaborating effectively.
- Help other members of the team with tasks, and participate in the training and evolution of the team, using interpersonal awareness and collaboration.
- Contribute to discussions on publishing workflows and systems to help ensure continued operational excellence.
- Develop and maintain effective and productive relations with other members of staff, including other Nature Portfolio journal editors, and other relevant departments, such as production.
