About the Role

Nature Climate Change is a monthly journal that publishes the very best research on the nature, underlying causes or impacts of global climate change and its implications for the economy, policy and the world at large.

Do you love science but feel that a career at the bench isn’t enough to sate your desire to learn more about scientific research? Do you enjoy reading papers outside your chosen area of research? If the answer is yes to these questions, you could be the person we’re looking for to join the Nature Portfolio editorial team.

To help us build on the success of the portfolio, we’re seeking an editor with experience in environmental science, such as geography, natural resource management, and urban planning, who has a critical eye, a deep understanding of their subject and interests beyond, and agile thinking. We are open to applications from related areas of research with relevance to climate change science although knowledge of technology, energy or carbon mitigation is desirable.

This is a permanent position within the Nature Portfolio. The successful candidate will primarily support Nature Climate Change and may collaborate closely with other Nature Portfolio journals as needed. Please note that responsibilities and journal assignments may evolve over time in response to portfolio needs.

Responsibilities

• Handling original research papers and working closely with editor teams on all aspects of the editorial process, including manuscript selection and overseeing peer review.
• Making well-reasoned editorial decisions on submitted manuscripts in the light of expert advice.
• Contributing to content and strategy in this area at Nature Climate Change and other Nature Portfolio journals as needed.
• Commissioning, editing content such as Reviews, Comments, and writing content such as editorials.
• Liaising extensively with editors at other journals in the Nature Portfolio and with experts in the international scientific community.
• Attending conferences and visiting research institutions.

Qualifications

How to apply

The successful candidate will report to the Chief Editor of the journal. This demanding and intellectually stimulating role is on offer in our Shanghai, Beijing, New York or New Jersey offices. The position is offered on a permanent basis and its start date is envisaged as soon as possible.

Applicants should include : a CV, a covering letter explaining their interest in the position, preferred office of employment, and a separate file with a concise (maximum 300 words) discussion of a recent article (not published in Nature Climate Change) in a relevant field that they found particularly exciting (stating why).
