• The ability to critically evaluate research submitted to the journal, making well-reasoned editorial assessments on the basis of novelty, rigor and the implications of the research.


• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and be fluent in English (written and spoken).


• An eagerness to travel and meet scientists worldwide. A key aspect of the job involves liaising with the scientific community through attendance at scientific conferences and meeting with researchers via conference calls and on-site visits.
