  • Work closely with authors throughout the writing and revision process by providing feedback on synopses, developmentally editing first drafts, and line-by-line editing final manuscripts before acceptance
  • Organize and manage peer-review
  • Liaise between authors and the internal Art editors to ensure the best visual communication of ideas in figures and other display items
  • Write Research Highlights and other editorial content
  • Interact extensively with the scientific community through laboratory visits and international conferences, virtually or in-person

Experience, Skills & Qualifications:

  • A PhD (and ideally post-doctoral experience) in any topic relevant to the journal; the preferred areas of expertise are robotics, signal processing, power and energy 
  • Ability to absorb new areas of research, and identify new developments and research trends in fields beyond their immediate speciality
  • Demonstrable ability to edit text for sense, clarity, factual correctness and language (which will be assessed during the interview process)
  • Strong writing ability
  • Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills
  • Keen attention to detail
  • Willingness to travel to meet scientists, discuss their research and Review ideas, and advocate for the journal 
  • Editorial experience is not required but is an advantage.
