Overview
Associate or Senior Editor, Nature Climate Change : London 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 content of the journal in the quantitative social sciences. 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 be familiar with mathematical modelling and econometric approaches, as well as 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 will ideally be based in our London or New York office, but exceptions can be considered for strong candidates. Nature Climate Change is part of a dynamic editorial and publishing environment that also includes Nature , Nature Energy , Nature Sustainability and Nature Human Behaviour . Applicants must provide: a CV, including their class of degree and a brief account of their research and other relevant experience; a brief cover letter explaining their interest in the post and their salary expectations; a Research Highlight (200 words or less) on a recent paper from the climate change literature; The closing date for applications is 16th April 2020. Applications will be considered as they are received.
